DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - February 14, 2010
Connick, who is singing the national anthem for Sunday's Daytona 500, says the tourism money brought in to local businesses from the team's playoff run is carrying over into Mardi Gras, resulting in the "greatest time in the history of our city, at least as long as I've been alive."
Connick, who was wearing a black shirt with a gold fleur de lis, says the city is excited and proud of the team.
