Stock Car Racing and Country Music—two pillars of culture in the Southern United States. And the two have mingled throughout the years. So put on your racing shoes, make sure they match your cowboy hat, and settle in for a look back at some of Nascar’s biggest stars turned Nashville wannabes!
The Song: Race Track Fever
The Star: Dale Jarrett by Elroy Kahane & Billy Arr
The Clip:
The Review: I’ve always liked DJ as a driver, then as a broadcaster. But all the jangly guitar in the world can’t cover up his dull singing voice. And is it wise on an album aimed at working-class Southerners to “sing” about everything you got from your dad?
The Verdict: Thankfully Dale Jarrett stuck to driving and announcing.
