Selecting the song they are introduced to before BMS Cup races has become a very serious matter with the drivers. Some know immediately which tune they want as their BMS “theme” song, while others take weeks to make up their minds.
 
Ryan Newman, who is getting into the music business with the recent formation of MPR Entertainment Group, has selected a song by Bridgette Tatum. Newman will be introduced to “Hillbilly Rockstar.”
 
"(My wife) Krissie and I decided to get into the music business last year because it seemed like a natural transition for us,” he said. “A lot of the same strategies that we use to promote me as a driver translate into making Bridgette a bigger star than she already is. I can’t think of a better way for me to promote Bridgette than to be introduced to one of her songs at Bristol Motor Speedway in front of more hundreds of thousands of fans. 
 
“When we did the introductions with the music last year, the fans went wild. There was so much energy there, and the drivers and the fans all had fun. To be able to use one of Bridgette’s songs is something I am really excited about. If you talk to the fans, they will tell you that NASCAR drivers are rockstars in their own right, so I think ‘Hillbilly Rockstar’ is a good fit.”
 
Four-time and reigning Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson is going with a classic, “Ramble On” by Led Zepplin while teammate Jeff Gordon will walk out to “Boom, Boom, Pow” by The Black-Eyed Peas.
