NASCAR Driver becomes “Epic Swag” after his Twitter account got hacked

NASCAR's Mark Martin saw his twitter account will be very erratic after clicking the link last week. All his tweets were deleted, the password is reset and the screen name was changed to 'EPICSWAGG'. But kudos to the people at Twitter, everything was set right on Saturday night.

Although, it looks like Martin is getting the last laugh. 53 year old is an avid fan of rap, and quite familiar with the 'stolen' the term. He decided to adopt a new moniker by running EPIC Swag name on the car number 55 this weekend at Auto Club 500 in Fontana, California. It seems like everything is done well enough for veterans.

"Female singers have always appealed to me, always when I was a little kid," Miller says. "My mom was super into the Madonna and Belinda Carlisle and Janet Jackson, so I was always surrounded by a female voice."

Miller found that in the spring of Muse singer Alexis Krauss, who put aside a career in education to start a band. According to Krauss works in Miller's production style - characterized by loud guitars and machine-gun beats - to learn how to scream.

"I'm already in session work, working with other people - it was something I knew how," Krauss says. "I was used to push myself and going to a place that I was a little uncomfortable, but their action .... Now, I love the screaming. I actually prefer the one to sing sometimes."

NPR's Rachel Martin Miller and Krauss speaks about the creative partnership between the second and Sleigh Bells album, Reign of Terror, which is published this week.
