Ahead of the race at Bristol, NASCAR Hall of Famer, Dale Earnhardt Jr was asked which was his walkout song during his racing days and if was to be racing to this date, which specific song would be chosen for his driver walkout.

Junior stated, “So I think every driver does this differently if some of them seem like they could give a crap less and they picked, just threw something back oh you know, they just answered the email with whatever song right. And then other people put a lotta time into it. Some people cared so much or cared so little that they would let other people pick their songs.”

“I remember Jimmie and somebody swapped like you pick my song, I’ll pick yours as a joke. But man I really wanted to put somethin’ in there that was either gonna fire me up or frame my mood for racing at Bristol. So I always went for something upbeat, fast, and with a lot of energy. I don’t even know what I’d put in there today. I mean I’d literally have to go in my phone and dig through you about 200 songs to pick one to use.”
