Driver introductions during the pre-race ceremonies at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, ahead of the Bass Pro Shops Night Race, are a little different. One such difference is the drivers’ choices of music to which they’re introduced. Song choices are often some kind of reflection on the given driver, from simply being a favorite song to relating where that driver is in his career. Perhaps, the best examples are the song choices of the Trackhouse Racing duo of Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez ahead of Saturday night’s race at Bristol.
Chastain greeted fans at Bristol last weekend to the tune of Tracy Byrd’s “Watermelon Crawl.” That seems appropriate considering Chastain is known as the “Melon Man” because of his background as a watermelon farmer, hailing from a long line of watermelon farmers.
Suarez, meanwhile, walked out to “I Feel Good,” a song by none other than Trackhouse Racing co-owner, Pitbull:
