CURRENT SINGLE: “Hard Days”
NASCAR season is in full swing, and one guy who likes catching a race when he can is Brantley Gilbert. But he admits, “Some of my favorite parts of racin’ probably shouldn’t be my favorite part. I do like watching wrecks. I think there’s a few of us out there.”
Perhaps even more than the wrecks, Brantley loves when drivers get a little too close to each other in their cars. “You know, rubbin’s racin’,” he says, “and when they get a little bit out of control, you don’t want nobody to get hurt, but it never hurts my feelings when they get a little frustrated with each other and want to kind of duke it out in the pits neither. So, it’s all in good fun.”
Maybe Brantley enjoys watching those guys duke it out, since he has mellowed out quite considerably from his rowdier, younger days, so it’s his way of living vicariously through them.
