Madison Rising’s national anthem before Saturday's Nationwide race raises eyebrows

NASCAR hasn’t been doing a solid job as of late in picking entertainers to sing The Star-Spangled Banner, and Saturday was no different.

Before Saturday’s Drive4COPD 300 Nationwide race, self-proclaimed “America’s most patriotic rock band” Madison Rising took to the stage to perform the anthem. It started out normal, and then… well… this happened:

While freedom of expression is encouraged, I don’t think the anthem, ESPECIALLY at a NASCAR race is the time to voice said freedom. Driver Brad Keselowski appeared to be humored by the entire performance, as seen by his facial expression:

After their performance, they took to their Facebook page with a post starting with, “Some people STILL haven't heard our Star Spangled Banner. We need to change that.”

Keselowski summed up the entire performance after the race, with this tweet. 

A lot more people will hear this performance, and unfortunately, I don’t think for the right reasons.
