Bristol Motor Speedway combines door-to-door action with high-energy theatrics and Bruton Smith's massive ego. A big part of pre-race activities are the driver introductions, which feature driver-selected theme songs for their walk to their cars. We don't really know what songs each driver will pick, but here's some suggestions:
Jamie McMurray: "One" by Metallica, as interpreted by The Hamburglar
Brad Keselowski: "You Talk Too Much" by George Thorogood
Kasey Khane: Farmers Insurance theme, nightclub megamix
