NASCAR on NBC/TNT Main Theme - "Fuel For Fire" 

The Fuel demo was a perfect fit for NASCAR. As a Metallica fan, it always put a smile on my face when the broadcasts played this theme.

If NBC starts using this theme again, I will squeal like a Japanese school girl.

I really hope they bring this back, it added an epicness to Nascar that has been unmatched. Plus listening to the guitar solos during breaks was always refreshing. As long as it's nothing to misplaced like Fox has done it will go fine! Go NBC!

NBC seriously should bring this back with an updated version

If FOX can bring back their old theme, NBC/NBCSN/USA needs to bring back "Fuel." Now GIMME FUEL GIMME FIRE GIMME THAT WHICH I DESIRE

they need to use these song in all nascar races

Ah, the demo version of "Fuel" by Metallica.

I definitely agree with you, it was such an epic way to open and end each broadcast!

MICHAEL WALTRIP IN 2ND BUT IT'S GONNA BE DALE EARNHARDT JR. USING LESSONS LEARNED FROM HIS FATHER TO GO FROM 6TH TO 1ST AND SCORE THE VICTORY IN THE PEPSI 400

Yeah, drivers like Sterling Marlin, Rusty Wallace, Dale Earnhardt, Terry Labonte, Dale Jarrett, and others. It's too bad we don't have more drivers like them, today.

2:30 NBC SPORTS...WELCOMES YOU LIVE TO THE NASCAR WINSTON CUP SERIES...

Since fox brought back their old theme, it would make sense that NBC does the same with this.

NBC will return to Nascar in 2015. They seriously need to use this theme again, One of my all time favorites.

Still an absolute banger to this day!

NBC better use this theme when they come back

For NBC's first NASCAR race since 2006, BRING THIS BACK!!!!!!

GIMME FUE GIMME FAI GIMME DABAJABAZA

Metallica- Fuel Demo version.....Kirk's main and solo, with Lars mix on drums. ;)

NASCAR on NBC is coming back in 2015!!!!! Hell yeah!

this wasn't a remix, but the original version of Fuel. Actually, it was recorded during the session for the "Load" album. Also played live as Fuel For Fire on the Cunning Stunts video

Just In Time For The Daytona 500 Today! The Best Of Both Worlds, Metallica And NASCAR!!!!! GO, JUNIOR, GO!

BRING BACK THE OLD DAYS AND AIR THIS SONG

NBC is returning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe next year TNT could bring it back since it was used there as well.

NBC bring this theme back! It fits Nascar perfectly!

NBC IS RETURNING TO NASCAR!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!

second best nascar theme behind nascar on fox 2001-2007 theme

WELCOME BACK NBC TO NASCAR!!!!!!!!!

Love this song for real. Even used it for my Daytona 500 Music Video 3

From about 1990-2004, they actually cared about their intros. Nowadays, because of simpler and lazier times, we got no awesome intros we can say "Hey did you see that intro last Sunday? That was awesome! It made up for the boring race." Nowadays it's like if we have a boring race, all we talk about it is "That race sucked, can't wait for Dega" Seems like nowadays it's whatever music they can find, they use.

Hopefully they use it for the coke 600

I miss this NASCAR theme alot NBC needs to use again or in Truck Series

Hell yeah!!!! NBC is back

I think I heard this while Chase Elliott was doing his burnout yesterday.

I never watched nascar, but i love it

NASCAR ON NBC IS BACK IN 2015!!!!!

I Have no idea but this sounds more like a demo version of fuel with alternate lyrics but either version of the song is epic for Nascar theme song they really need to bring this song back to NBC or TNT

I Wished BP Was Still Here, Because It Should Be Allen, Wally, And Benny In The Booth Again!!!!!

NBC is back!!! :)

even a bad metallica song is better than Blake Shelton's song

NBC should use this for F1 but if Bernie heard this he would probably cancel NBC's contract

Gonna see Jeff get #5 for his last year sould have 7 if not for the dumb chase.

Let's see how NASCAR on NBC is going to be for 2015!

NBC should bring this back, at least for the 20th anniversary, of NASCAR on NBC for Xfinity and the Cup Series

NBC is gonna witness Jimmie getting his 7th Championship!!!

COMING BACK IN 2015!!

Listened before the 2018 Fall Texas Chase Race.. Go Ryan Blaney #12

When Nascar was Nascar

Either that or the theme they used from Chicagoland 2004 to Homestead 2006. I still cannot figure out who did that song or if it was just a theme composed like ESPN.

I rather hear a Metallica song any day than damn Blake Shelton

Panic Attack “BattleBots” Theme Song (2013-15 Theme)

@hummel71109 In this video, this song is on the NASCAR Full Throttle CD and the name of this track is "Fuel For Fire", because it was for NASCAR on NBC/TNT, and with different lyrics.

NBC needs to take back the NBA rights from ESPN/ABC. ESPN/ABC is a fucking joke and they're always talking about LeBron James.

2020 NBC intro

As much as NBC/TNT commentary lagged behind FOX, the theme song purely rocks of awesomeness!

@hummel71109 This is the demo of "Fuel" they even haven´t released it when they did this commercial

NBC sports presents... Nascar!!

kick out ESPN and have Allen Bestwick as the play by play broadcaster along with Wally Dallenbach and have Benny Parsons broadcast from heaven

This intro also makes you excited. Carrie Underwood’s intro makes you want to watch something else.

@TSSIone fuel for fire was the original demo for fuel, they originaly made the song for nascar then they completely remade the song. learn your facts , and if you watch the video for fuel live "cunning stunts " the demo is sang and its this version. learn ur metallifax broski

@BadBooking Allen Bestwick's commentary lags behind nobody. FOX's graphics were far and above NBC though.

At least bring back, yes, an updated version, at least for the 20th anniversary of NASCAR on NBC....

@CaseyHasBallsOfSteel The facts are- i'm not argueing the song. I'm saying the footage shown is not an actual intro to one of the races. It is just random video clips. Become a reader!

Nascar On NBC & NBCSN Theme 2021

Man back than all the well known drivers were in the series the racing was much better and the cars how good they sounded and especially the announcers in the booth ! Best theme song they ever had .

Only thing that would make this better is a poorly drawn metallica shot from joel

@hummel71109 have you listened to the original, you wouldve known right away that this was a diff song

fox uses some country song now and a clip of a town closing for a race.

GIMME FUEL, GIMME FIRE, GIMME THE LYRICS, PLEASE?

Metallica!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is nothing but someones mix of the song and some TV footage. This is NOT the intro used for races at all.

We need Megadeth or Anthrax here

3 dislikes...I wonder who

Fuel metallica >>> Tom Petty >>> Blake Shelton

The original version is way better!

Daytona >>> Indianápolis
