“Hyundai is extremely excited to have an artist like Lee Greenwood perform at halftime of the Hyundai Sun Bowl,” said Oscar Leeser, president of Hyundai of El Paso. “His music has been an inspiration to many Americans and I cannot think of a better way to pay tribute to our young men and women serving in our armed forces both locally and abroad.”

A 2001 re-release of “God Bless the USA” became his highest charting pop hit, reaching No. 16 on the Hot 100.

The Hyundai Sun Bowl, sponsored by Hyundai Motor America, will feature the Atlantic Coast Conference against the Pacific-10 Conference. The Hyundai Halftime Show will feature a performance by Lee Greenwood, as well as the marching bands of the participating universities in the Hyundai Sun Bowl.
