Dale Earnhardt Jr. Singled Out Two NASCAR Drivers For Music Impact originally appeared on The Spun.
Believe it or not, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has fairly strong ties to the music industry. On top of the occasional appearance in music videos, he’s actually helped to produce some music throughout his post-racing career.
Ahead of the upcoming release of the NASCAR 25 video game, Earnhardt credited two drivers for inspiring the music being used in the game. He gave props to Ryan Blaney and Bubba Wallace for their contributions, specifically through their suggestions of Breaking Benjamin and Royal Blood.
“Two drivers, (Ryan) Blaney and (Bubba Wallace) helped influence some music for @Nascar25Game. Specifically songs from @breakingbenj and @royalblooduk,” he wrote.

NASCAR fans were pretty pumped to hear that those musicians will be featured in the game, though also expressed hope to hear other of their favorite musicians too:
“Having Breaking Benjamin on the soundtrack is a good tip of the cap from NASCAR 07 when Diary Of Jane was the opening menu song,” one user remarked.
“I chatted with bubba and Ryan at the Birmingham Stallions game a few months ago for 15-20 mins about music. Tried my best to get Bubba on the Bilmuri wagon but he wouldn’t budge. They like Wage War so I’ll give them a pass, lol,” wrote another.
“This game is shaping up to be really good then! I hope it can recapture the magic that the ost Nascar Thunder 2004,” a third wrote.
“Truly the easiest reason to support these guys is their taste in music.”
“Breaking Benjamin in the game is a MASSIVE W! Props to whichever of them pushed for that.”
“I know those fellas enjoy some Tyler Childers sooooooo.”
“Dale we need some classic fall out boy and bullet for my valentine (and some three days grace).”
If the fans don’t all get what they want from the music in this year’s game, they might get their wish next time.
