Bristol songs list: Denny Hamlin chooses 'Big Poppa'
In keeping with Bristol Motor Speedway's new tradition, drivers were once again allowed to choose their theme music for the pre-race introductions before today's Food City 500.
Bristol is the only track where drivers walk out to theme music. Some have a sense of humor (Denny Hamlin walked out to "Big Poppa" with his two-month old baby girl), some are the drivers' personal preference and some are chosen to get the crowd pumped up.
