Race or driving themed songs?

I'm putting together a ton of pictures of racing, cars, folks hanging around events and cars, etc. I need to get some good and appropriate music. Suggestions.

Some I've thought of:
Life in the Fast Lane - Eagles
No Particular Place to Go - Chuck Berry
Fuel - Metallica

I know there are tons more but I'm blanking...

Thunder Road" sung by Robert Mitchum in a flick about moonshine runners in the mid 50s.

There was thunder, thunder, over Thunder Road
Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his load
And there was moonshine, moonshine to quench the devil's thirst
The law they thought they'd get him but the devil got him first...

another real oldie...(I have a memory for trivia)

Sittin in the back seat, huggin and a kissin with Fred

Or...

Making love in a Subaru:

"There's my roach clip and my bong

They've been missing for so long...."

Hey..

No one has mentioned the all-time roadie song:

"You go from Chicago to LA
About two thousand miles all the way
Just get your kicks
on Route 66........."

"While riding in my Cadillac, much to my surprise
A little Nash Rambler was following me, about one third my size
I knew that he wanted to pass me by, the way he tooted his horn
I'd show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn

Beep beep.....beep beep...
His horn wen beep..beep..beep

I pushed my foot oown to the floor, as fast as I coud go
But the little Nash Rambler was right beside, as if I was too slow
The guy rolled down his window and yelled for me to hear...
"Hey buddy, how do I get this thing.....
OUT OF SECOND GEAR?"

There are a few more verses in between
