AC DC – Shook me all night long is the best nascar song ever
I love nascar but Cledus T. Judd (i think)

I like NASCAR races, Dale Darrell Waltrip Richard Petty Rusty Awesome Bill Irvine Gordan Earnhardt Jeff Johnson Jr, The C.D. billybobs and ???? country race track songs, and Riding with the legend
i heard a song on the radio the other day. it was like that song that hank willams sing’s about his dad picing him up and taking him to nashvile.but this was about dale earnhart sr and jr.does any one know the name of the song and wher to find it? j_e_h20@yahoo.com
i like them all
The best Nascar song ever made is by Raytona500 and the song is called “It’s a NASCAR NATION”. It’s the first song about Nascar that us fans can pump our fists in the air to and scream NASCAR NATION!!!!
My favourite is “Oh King Richard” by Kyle Petty. Billy Ray Cyrus also has two great NASCAR songs – “The Fastest Horse In A One Horse Town” and “The Man (Tribute to Dale Earnhardt)”
Kellyanne…you got good taste. I wrote The Man with Billy Ray and several others by Drivin’ Sideways. Keep rockin’!
i dont no how to get them, a radio station up here called the gearhead show, played some songs sung by cup drivers, wild bill, dale sr, yaroburo, bobby allison,and others, if anyone one there knows anymore about there let the site no of them, i was able to get about 45. miutes of them, these are the cartunes i listen to on my way to any track, bummer is going to cup races i seem to get more tickets then
The best Nascar Song was written by Tim McNamara Nashville TN, in ’05 titled “Gentlemen Start Your Engines”. It was debut at the Texas 400 race in Spring ’06 by Erika Jo. Erika Jo sang it at a Speed Week event in Charlotte, and then at the Indy 500.
i can’t believe no one has said this one:
Stroker Ace – Charlie Daniels Band
Riding With A Legend
The Chevys and Fords
whats the song that goes…”the race is on…………. comin up the backstretch…..lalalalaa” i cant think of it!!!! help!!!
That would be: “The Race is On” by Sawyer Brown..
The race is on and here comes pride in the backstretch. Heartache is going to the inside…. etc..
Cake- He’s going the distance
The best nascar song is IF YOU AIN’T FIRST(YOUR LAST)sung by Walt Evans at waltevans.com
Back in the Saddle-Aerosmith
I agree with Carol IF YOU AIN’T FIRST, YOUR LAST by Walt Evans is dynamite. I just seen him perform this at one of his shows and the crowd, that by the way had a number of Nascar fans in it, went crazy. Walt Evans is a Grammy nominated country artist from Michigan, you can find a sample of this song on http://www.waltevans.com and the whole song on his myspace site.
Whats the new song on FOX about lets go racing boys? anybody know who sings it i’m trying to download it? email me at jreamer@stormontvail.org
who sings the song….i been travelin round the world and dada da dadada it like molly somthin it a guy it realy popular with nascar in like 1998-2003
Another great Nascar song is the one off of I thing the Nascar 95 game for PS1…I cant think of the name of it, can somebody help?
“I’m travlin’ down that lonesome road. Feel like I’m…..Floodin’ with disaster..”
I would have to agree- Stoker Ace is very good. but Skynyrd- the music gods that they are, have a song- “The Last Rebel” which is a tribute to Dale Sr.
Also, Drivin’ Wheel by Foghat is pretty good too.
20th Century Drifter by Marty Robbins. Wonderful song. Also remade a few years ago call 21st. centurydrifter. It’s about a race car driver loads up his car and is gone every weekend.
David I’ve been wondering that same thing!!! that’s actually why I did the search so i could find out the damn song, somebody help
“the race is on” was originally done by george jones. sayer brown did a remake
also 2 other songs i like to listen to when playing racing games are “i cant drive 55″ and “life is a highway”
IN 1998 BEFORE ONE OF THE TALLADEGA RACES ESPN PLAYED A COUNTRY WESTERN SONG WITH THE LYRICS “SOMEONES CALLING OUT TO ME SAYING MAN ITS TIME TO GO WE GOT TO MUCH LEFT TO SEE TO MANY MILES OF ROAD JUST START DRIVING LET THOSE WHEELS ROLL YEAH LET ‘EM ROLL.” DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT SONG THIS IS AND WHO SINGS IT.IT WAS AWESOME.
Hey dave and tyler its Molly Hatchet – Flirtin’ With Disaster
best song is Fastest horse in a one horse town by billy ray cyrus.And riding with a legend (the one with dale sr).
I always play “SPEED” by MONTGOMERY GENTRY not because songs about but the title of the song is GREAT.
This song came out in the early 90′s I think.. and it has been stuck in my head for days help me… the song is something like…”Going in the inside” or “going through the inside”

The best NASCAR song, bar none, is Mark Knopfler’s “Speedway at Nazareth”. And the best version of it is on the DVD “All The Live Roadrunning” with Mark and Emmylou Harris in concert.

One of the best NASCAR songs is “Let The Sunrise Say Goodbye” by HWY-99 (now on iTunes and YouTube) !!!
The best and funniest new song about Nascar that I’ve heard in a while is actually a parody by Earl Wayne and Linda Jo. It’s called: Nascar (Parody of Rockstar by Nickelback). I personally bought the mp3 song download at Amazon, though I heard that Amazon is now offering it as a Free download. Go figure. I also read in an Earl Wayne blog or press release, I can’t remember which, that the video is due out soon on YouTube.
i’ve been looking for a song i heard a few years back the beginng lyrics are “he got his first racecar at the junkyard, got his motor from a 1ton truck. 2 weeks of turnin wrenches, he had it running good and looking rough” and in the chorus it says “drive it like you stole it” i can not find it anywhere and would really appreciate the help guys
It’s called “Drive it like you stole it” and it’s by the Glitch Mob.
You can hear it at

The best NASCAR song that I have heard recently is, “The Drive of Your Life!” I’m not sure who sings it but this song ROCKS!!! I Love Nascar and I LOVE this song!!! I think there is a Danica Patrick version too!!!
Be There (Speed Theme) by Chad Harris which can be found at http://www.myspace.com/video/chad-harris/quot-be-there-quot-music-video/37159150
and Flirtin’ With Disaster by Molly Hatchett
David #27, and #30 that’s the one I was thinking of, and I had to break out my PS1 and play the game to figure it out.. It is Flirting with Disaster by Molly Hatchet.
