“How they dance in the courtyard/ Sweet Summer Fresh/ Some dance to remember/ Some dance to forget.” Ah, these immortal lines by Eagles seem to transport one back to those good old rock days. With a 2-minute-long guitar solo, along with mystical lyrics, the eponymous song of the album has been an indispensable part of rock music. 

The lyrics seem to have evoked a sense of foreboding and described the notion of excess among people. Nonetheless, one might be wondering what purpose the Eagles serve in the world of NASCAR. Well, the answer to this question lies in the latest tweet posted by Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Moreover, there have been several instances where NASCAR drivers have portrayed their love for their favorite music bands and singers, and among those names lies the name Dale Earnhardt Jr.

It is surely a known fact, that the former Cup Series driver has been an avid fan of music, especially rock and metal bands.
