Andy-Griggs
Country musician and car racing enthusiast Andy Griggs has created a song for the NASCAR Nationwide Series as it arrives in Nashville, April 3. The special event song, “Drink Champagne,” is a racing themed song and was co-written by Baker Curb Racing Car Chief John Reese. The song is now available to download on Griggs' site as well as NASCAR.com.  

“Andy Griggs is a friend of mine and I’ve always told him that he should come out with a good song about racing,” said Reese. “He asked me to help write the song and it was a very cool experience to see how much effort goes into all the different stages of a song. In racing you don’t just show up at the track and race, a lot of hard work goes into preparing the cars and there is a lot of strategy involved. Recording a song is very similar, you just don’t put a song down on paper and head to the studio and cut it. Each part of the song lyrics, tempo, dynamics, rhythm gets changed and massaged many times before the finished product. I hope all the racing fans out there rev up for this song by contacting the ConMan at www.conmanradio.com or your local station and requesting it!”  
The first 100 new Andy Griggs fan club members will receive the download for free. “Drink Champagne” is currently being played on the Conman Radio Show, which airs on 100 stations nationwide. The Show may also be heard online at: www.conmanradio.com.
