Waltrip, a longtime country music fan, said he felt an immediate connection with the song. “It so addresses everything that we do on race day. You know, RVs, crew chiefs, get on your feet and pray - all those things are actually taking place, so I could see this song being a great fit to a pre-race show.” In fact, NASCAR has already licensed the song for use on the Speed Channel, and Waltrip says he plans to help pitch the project to his friends with the Fox network as well. “Race Day” will also appear on McDonald’s forthcoming album, expected to be released this summer.

“I’m really excited about just having a small little line in there,” Waltrip said. Then he reminded us that not too long ago he provided voice-overs for the animated film, Cars, and related that since his wife won’t let him drive anymore, making television and similar projects have become his passion. Ever the competitor, he was quick to add, “I can still kick those guys’ butt,” though, referring to NASCAR’s current crop of drivers. When asked if we should expect a video to go along with “Race Day,” McDonald seemed enthusiastic about the idea, but evidently there are no current plans for one. He added, “Maybe then we’ll let [Darrell] drive,” followed by a smirk from Waltrip that may have McDonald thinking twice about the idea.
