Music Makes the Man

Think you know a lot about your favorite driver? How about which song they would pick as their theme song. Here is a list I have compiled from a news release by Bristol Motor Speedway, and a post on Scene Daily by Jeff Gluck.

I suppose these songs are subject to change, especially since there are some repeats. I think the track should give those drivers an option to pick another song. Women don't like to show up to a party wearing the same dress as someone else. I'm sure these guys don't want to walk onstage to music the crowd has heard three times already.
