Musically Declined: NASCAR Goes Country, Watch Out for The Matador


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: Watch Out for the Matador by unknown


The Star: Bobby Allison


The Clip: 



The Review: Here we have arguably the only song ever written about an AMC vehicle.  Its funny to think that Roger Penske allowed his driver to talk-sing over a crappy interpretation of “Camptown Races”.  I mean, this is less a gimmick country song and more a really bad rap song set to twangy music.


The Verdict: Watch out for Bobby trying to carry a tune.
