Grammy-nominated Jordin Sparks will sing the National Anthem before the 108th running of the Indy 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway over Memorial Day Weekend.

Sparks was born in Phoenix and raised in Glendale, where she attended Sandra Day O'Connor High in the Deer Valley Unified School District.

“We know that Jordin’s voice and performance will deliver an emotional and stirring rendition of the National Anthem as part of pre-race ceremonies for the Indy 500,” IMS President J. Douglas Boles shared in a press release.

Sparks gained worldwide attention as the winner of season six of “American Idol,” one of the show's highest-rated seasons. Sparks’ singles have sold more than 10 million digital tracks in the U.S. She performed the National Anthem before the 2015 edition of the Indy 500.

Sparks has earned two BET Awards, one American Music Award, one People's Choice Award, and she has been nominated for a Billboard Award, a Dove Award, two MTV Awards and two Grammys. She made her Broadway debut starring in Lin-Manuel Miranda's Broadway smash "In the Heights," and made her film debut playing the lead role in the Sony Pictures film "Sparkle," opposite the legendary Whitney Houston.

Sparks has since returned to the Broadway stage to acclaim as the lead in the Tony Award-winning "Waitress," with music by Sara Bareille. She also executive-produced and starred in Hallmark's "A Christmas Treasure."

Last year, she received a Dove, Billboard, and Grammy nomination for her No. 1 single with For King & Country, "Love Me Like I Am." Her latest single, "Call My Name," debuted at No. 29 on the Adult R&B Airplay hit list.

NBC's live coverage of the Indianapolis 500 starts at 8 a.m. Sunday, May 26.
