Several of the "surf rock" tunes about drag racing and the like would be really good for making Doug a crack driver, except that a) Doug has already demonstrated pretty good driving ability and b) many of those tunes ("Dead Man's Curve" (by the Beach Boys?) and "Drive Like Lightning" (by Brian Setzer) for example) end in the racer in question dying in a fiery, screaming, unpleasant fashion. Similarly, "Little Nash Rambler" (which I heard on Dr. Demento) would be a bad song to play, since it involves a guy trying to race away from a Nash Rambler and failing (the final verse has the Rambler's driver asking, "Hey buddy, how do you get this car out of second gear?").
