No. 2: Country Nation by Brad Paisley

Brad Paisley’s song “Country Nation” come in at number 2. The song was released in 2014 on the album Moonshine In The Trunk, an album that’s named for the very roots of NASCAR- moonshine running.  “Country Nation” emphasizes and celebrates the ties that hold the country nation together including their love of NASCAR. Paisley has made no effort to hide his fandom of NASCAR and specifically Hendrick Motorsports drivers- many of whose numbers are mentioned in the song: 24, 48 and 88.In fact, Paisley only leaves out one Hendrick driver- Kasey Kahne. Yet does mention driver Tony Stewart’s No. 14:

We pray before we race
Cheer 14 and 48
And we drink ice-cold beer on Friday nights
Yeah, we’re one big country nation, that’s right

Sorry Kasey Kahne- guess Brad Paisley is just not a fan.  Brad has even poked fun of the fact that he and driver Jeff Gordon look a lot alike on the CMAs.
