Kansas Speedway announced today that Warner Brothers recording artist James Otto will perform the national anthem for the Yellow Transportation 300 on Sept. 29

Otto is a member of the Muzik Mafia, along with Big & Rich, and is one the group's most respected musicians and performers. In addition to performing, Otto is also a songwriter and has co-written several of his own songs.

"We're excited to introduce James Otto to our fans at Kansas Speedway," said Kansas Speedway President Jeff Boerger. "James will get an exciting day of racing action kicked off."

EA Sports' "NASCAR '07" features one of Otto's songs. Otto has an album scheduled for release later this fall.
