Nu metal and fast cars go hand in hand more than people care to admit, as the last year has shown. Korn frontman Jonathan Davis kicked off the Pennzoil 400, Dale Earnhardt Jr. recently repped Limp Bizkit on his podcast, and now iRacing Studios' upcoming NASCAR 26 video game has a nu-favoring soundtrack.
Among the artists from the nu world featured are veterans such as Papa Roach, Alien Ant Farm, and Chevelle, with new nu's torch carried by Kami Kehoe and Sick Puppies. Add in some hip-hop in DMX and T.I. and some Southern rock like Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the race is on.
The full soundtrack includes:
- Sick Puppies - "All The Same"
- Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats - "Cars in the Desert"
- The Hot Skillet Lickers - "Dale Earnhardt"
