NASCAR and ASL

A 13-year-old will sign the national anthem before a NASCAR race at Pocono Raceway today, located not far from Scranton, Pennsylvania. Carl Bradshaw of Coplay has signed the national anthem at minor league baseball and hockey events with others. Before the Good Sam RV Insurance 500, he'll do it by himself. You can see the race at 1 pm, Eastern on ESPN. Carl lost his hearing as a toddler to meningitis. An attempt at an early age to give him a cochlear implant did not work out. He attends the Scranton School for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing.
