Sneak peak: A look at the songs drivers picked for pre-race intros at Bristol

One of the better new traditions in the sport is the driver introductions at Bristol for the Cup races there. What makes it fun for the fans is that drivers pick the song that they want to be played when they are introduced. It creates a lot of discussion from those saying they can't believe a driver picked a certain song to rejoicing in a driver picked the same song that is a fan's favorite.

So, courtesty of Bristol Motor Speedway, here's a look at the songs drivers selected to be played when they are introduced. A few drivers are missing (Dale Earnhardt Jr., Mark Martin and Carl Edwards). They prefer to surprise their fans so the track doesn't release their song ahead of time.
