Song of the Day: My Heart Will Go On

Las Vegas Motor Speedway hosted its first NASCAR Cup Series race 25 years ago, just a few days beyond its 25th anniversary. The first race was on March 1st, 1998 and was won by Mark Martin. The race was only a once-a-year event until 2018, when they decided to run it twice a year. Anyways, today’s song is a callback to that March 1st race; and no, it doesn’t have anything to do with NASCAR. It simply was the number one song that week. Not only that, if you are familiar with the song, then you know that it was featured on the box office powerhouse film, Titanic. Celine Dion was awarded an Oscar, 4 Grammy awards, and a long list of accolades for the song and the film itself was the top box office movie for 13 weeks straight. I know Mark Martin is a big rap music guy, but maybe he was listening to some Celine Dion before his Las Vegas win in 1998.
