No. 10: Born To Be Wild by Hinder

Rock band Hinder, from Oklahoma, remade the Steppenwolf classic “Born To Be Wild” which was used in 2007 by TNT’s NASCAR summer series coverage as their intro and bumper music.  While technically the song has nothing to do with NASCAR in particular, the song was used multiple times during broadcast specifically the lyrics “Get your motor runnin’ head out on the highway” and they soon became synonymous with NASCAR that year.

Play this song for your favorite long-time  NASCAR fan and they will likely light up remembering their favorite 2007 racing moments, or possibly get mad at TNT’s race coverage. Hinder’s album When The Smoke Clears was released in May of 2015.
