Much like WWE wrestlers, NASCAR drivers have their intro songs, too, but only at Bristol. And Tyler Reddick’s choice at Bristol clearly shocked the crowd and make them burst into laughter. But it would have been funnier if Kyle Busch played it.

But you will not believe what happened.

In a recent episode of Door, Bumper, Clear! The NASCAR spotters were discussing the intro songs and Bristol. And then someone pointed out the song Reddick played. “Did you hear what Tyler Reddick’s song was? Beastie Boys – Sabotage.” Wow, Reddick, that was hilarious. Another spotter even said, “The timing couldn’t have been better.” and he sure isn’t wrong, after everything that happened at Richard Childress Racing.

However, another one of the guests had an incredible suggestion song suggestion for the drivers, “I was hoping that Kyle[Busch] or Tyler [Reddick] would play ‘Take this job and shove it’ by Johnny Paycheck. That would have been amazing.”, “Imagine if Kyle came out because that’s the first line of the song.” Clearly, there is no cooling off once you get to the songs. But it isn’t a bad suggestion, far from it actually. It would be pretty hilarious to see that as an intro song.
