Racing games are super hot right now for obvious reasons. That said, how about we pick out a few of our favorite song from racing games of the past. Yes, you can mention all the Kenny G-like music from GT5, but let's try and focus on that one particular song that just felt so right when you blazed down the straightaway. An example of a great racing game tune could be Rainbow Road from Mario Kart 64. (Kart Racers are welcome too!)  My all-time favorite song in a racing game, however, comes from Midnight Club II:  
  
    
I love this song.  
 
Ok, throw me your musicology.

After he started playing this game, my dad would randomly burst out with an "Ow skeet skeet skeet skeet" every once in a while.

Topping my personal charts right now, from Burnout Paradise. 
Though I must say   "Never Could Have Your Heart" from  Midnight Club 2 is a good pick, that game had numerous beats that stuck in my mind.

Drew has the right idea: when he senses a camera nearby, he suddenly defocuses his entire being.

NFS Underground 2 had a pretty decent soundtrack, In my Head by QOTSA, Riders on the Storm remix with Snoop Dogg etc.

Diddy Kong Racing on the N64 is the only racing game I ever played and even remotely enjoyed. So that I guess.

It seems like there's one or two songs in Gran Turismo games which always get me.
 
GT2:
  

    
  
GT3:
  
    
  
GT5:
  
 
and just because this has been a fucking earworm since I heard it the first time:

I think one of the Burnout games got me into Billy Talent when I heard it play Red Flag. I think it was Takedown.

The whole F-Zero X Guitar album has so much energy, among my favorites. 
 
Digging a little deeper, Super Hang-On had some kick-ass tunes.

Oh, and as for an actual track, absolutely nothing will beat the Wip3out soundtrack, but in particular...
