Honorable Mention

Kickstart My Heart from the Dr. Feelgood album by rockers Motley Crue is actually a song about drugs and not racing. The song does have a direct reference to racing, it’s top fuel funny car racing and not NASCAR.

However this song gets an honorable mention on the Top 10 NASCAR Songs list because of that opening guitar riff that sounds like a car going through the gears hard — it’s a sound that would make any race fan grin.
