Curt Schilling To Deliver Invocation At Sundays Nascar Race In NH

(Louden, NH) - Former Red Sox standout pitcher Curt Schiiling will deliver the opening prayer before this Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

The World Series MVP, three-time World Series champion and six-time All-Star, will deliver the invocation before the SYLVANIA 300 – the second race in NASCAR’s Chase for the Sprint Cup at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday. Schilling helped the Boston Red Sox erase an 86-year World Series drought with a 4-0 sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2004 World Series.

“I am honored to have been asked to provide the invocation for NASCAR and its fans,” said Schilling. “The people in New England are as passionate as they come. Tom Brady is free and NASCAR is coming to New Hampshire again – all is well in New England."

Schilling is the second former Red Sox All-Star to give the invocation. Rico Petrocelli gave the invocation at the 5-hour ENERGY 301 in July.
