Amazon Prime Video Taps Eric Church, John Fogerty for NASCAR Theme Based on Retooled CCR Smash

Some music never goes out of style.

Amazon Prime Video has roped in country singer Eric Church and ex-leader of Creedence Clearwater Revival, John Fogerty, to modernize their hit song “Up Around The Bend.” This refreshed version will serve as the theme for the streaming service’s coverage of NASCAR.

Stacey Rosenson, Head of U.S. Sports Marketing at Prime Video, said in a statement that collaborating with Eric Church, a talented artist who’s passionate about NASCAR, as well as the legendary John Fogerty, allows us to give our programming a unique twist that mirrors the excitement of the sport. By including Fogerty’s famous tune in our new commercial starring Dale Earnhardt Jr., Steve Letarte, and up-and-coming racer Chase Elliott, we’re capturing the essence of NASCAR and demonstrating our dedication to providing fans with a one-of-a-kind, entertaining, and thrilling viewing experience.

Other media outlets are making extra efforts to attract fans towards their fresh racing ventures. Earlier this year, Fox Sports aired advertisements showcasing Josef Newgarden, a two-time winner of the Indianapolis 500, together with Tom Brady, their lead NFL analyst, as a strategy to captivate audiences for IndyCar.
