No. 5: The Intimidator by The Charlie Daniels Band

Written by Charlie Daniels, “The Intimidator” comes in at number 5. A long time NASCAR fan, Daniels champions the late Dale Earnhardt in song by describing the driver in song with lyrics like “The man meant business when he got behind the wheel, eyes like an eagle, nerves like steel.”

The song appears on the Charlie Daniels Band album, Essential Super Hits, released in October of 2012. The song is an anthem to fans of the late Dale Earnhardt Sr. and also mentions his son Dale Earnhardt, JR and the number eight and is sure to be high on the list of many members of Junior Nation as well.
