Sound & Speed: NASCAR fans like country music! Who knew?

It's a little-known secret, but NASCAR fans actually have a bit of an affinity for country music. I know, I was pretty surprised to learn it too, but here we are. Anyway, this past weekend in Nashville, NASCAR drivers and country music performers came together for a festival of speed and sound dubbed -- imagine this -- "Sound & Speed."

The event began Friday night at the legendary Ryman Auditorium with a concert by Hank Williams Jr. But as it turned out, Bocephus was just the opening act for Kyle Petty, who's got a band of his own. And let me tell you, for a country singer, Kyle's a hell of a driver. (Kidding. I guess. I have no idea what the Kyle Petty Experience, or whatever their band name is, sounds like. Video/audio, please!)

Things kicked into a higher gear (see what I did there?) on Saturday with a big to-do featuring a few drivers you may have heard of: Richard Petty, Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch and oh so many others. Country music acts included Josh Turner, Bucky Covington, Danielle Peck and a whole bunch of good ol' American others.

On a serious note (see what I did there?), the festival benefits Kyle's Victory Junction Gang Camp, and helps send up to 400 kids to the camp every year. Since the campers don't pay anything to go, the camp needs up to $8 million per year to operate, and Sound & Speed helps with that.

After the jump, a Sound & Speed promo that's the most horrifying video you'll see all year. Don't say I didn't warn you.

You know, that trailer there for "Basic Instinct 3" doesn't look good at all. Sharon Stone has really let herself go.
