Musically Declined: Nascar Runnin’ Wide Open—Racing With My Heart



In 1995 Nascar was starting to get hot.  Jeff Gordon was on his way to his first Cup championship, TV ratings were on the rise, and for the first time ever, stock car racing was somewhat cool.  So what better way to celebrate the sport’s success than with an album of bland middle-of-the-road country music?

The Song: Racing With My Heart

The Star: Sammy Kershaw

The Clip: https://youtu.be/m-7nFmO0enU?si=lK8D5jG1N6l4IK09

The Review: Any song mentioning a “Five and Dime” after 1978 is going to be pretty irrelevant.  Singers—if you love racing, maybe just describe how cool it is to race, instead of telling dull stories about it.

The Verdict: So generic you’ll forget about it while you’re listening to it.
