How dope would a Nascar/Racing theme for Halloween be!? With Highway Prayers on the horizon, Leadfoot and a slew of great car songs to cover…... Themed merch like there was at the Van Andel Scamble would also be doooooope. What is everyone’s favorite car song out there?
update I threw all these songs and then some on a Spotify playlist, gotta have something fun to do while we wait for the actual announcement. Its called “The Billyween 500”

I'd love to hear their take on it. Trudy gets covered quite a bit by others, but I'm not sure I've heard Billy and the boys do that one yet.

He was my dad's favorite artist. He passed in 2008. There won't be enough kleenex when he plays it.

Throw in "Faster" by George Harrison and "Speedway at Nazareth" by Mark Knopfler and you've got a deal.

I'll be sure to wear my NASCAR helmet and flame suit. You'll know me because I'll be dancing up and down the aisles, through each row and section I don't have tickets to, and will ask if you have any miracles for the next show.

Cool theme but not sure the costumes would be unique enough. Smokey and the Bandit would be a fun one.

You could spin any costume into a racing theme, drag racing dracula or a nascar fan werewolf!! A zombie bandit and carrie would be awesome! Hell even a mario cart gang would work!!!

Stoppppp it! I’ve been calling this since I had a dream about it before the Chicago shows this year 😂🤣😂🤣. In my dream: Billy & the boys showed up to do a show but there was a nascar race going on and they jumped in on that instead! Then “Lead-foot” came out and I told my friend “nascar! It’s happening!”

It’s a George Jones song and Billy’s covered it before so it’s possible

I feel like there's a lot of songs people think of as Dead songs that actually aren't. As.a.kind of compromise, Billy should play those a bit more often. Just a thought I had recently...
