Reba hosts Nascar finale
The ceremony honors the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup champion and other drivers who finished in the top 10 of the final series standings.
In addition to her host duties, Reba will perform Turn on the Radio from her recently released album "All the Women I Am."
"Since we moved the awards ceremony to Las Vegas, we've really increased our focus on the entertainment value for those in attendance and our fans watching and listening at home," said NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France. "Having Reba at our show reflects that; she is unbelievably popular, with wide-reaching mainstream appeal. And, of course, we also like the fact that she's a fan of auto racing."
McEntire's son, Shelby Blackstock, competes in GRAND-AM Road Racing competition, and she attended several of his events this year.
"I'm delighted to be hosting the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards this year," Reba said. "Country music and NASCAR have shared fans for many years so I'll feel right at home. My family and I have gotten to meet so many nice people in the racing industry this year with my youngest son, Shelby, being one of the competitors. We appreciate so much the super hospitality."

CD reviews for Reba McEntire
It's so good to hear Reba McEntire's gospel album so soon after Carrie Underwood released the similar "My Savior." While Underwood's release may have been her country-ist album – ever, perhaps – McEntire has strayed far less often from her traditional music roots. With "My Chains Are Gone," McEntire gives us a selection of songs she – like Underwood – grew up singing. Therefore, she knows them all like the back of her hand, the way ...
The beauty of Reba McEntire's albums flows from her way with a phrase, knowing when to modulate to carry us deeper into sadness or joy and when to pull back when she wants us to listen quietly to the lessons of a tear falling. Her songs can also urge us to scamper across the dance floor to twin fiddles, celebrating the exhilarating freedom of the moment or the satisfaction of breakup from a messy relationship. This album follows the end of McEntire's marriage to her manager. ...
Reba McEntire's "My Kind of Christmas," is essentially the same album, with the same title, she released a while back through Cracker Barrel. The project is mostly comprised of the country Wonder Woman's strong singing voice, backed by acoustic piano. The new wrinkle in this expanded edition, though, is a bevy of guest vocalists. These guest spots are so good, it's worth the extra bucks to get the full package.
Reba is joined by the dynamic husband and wife team, Vince ...
