For the record, I love the new @Jason_Aldean single, “Try That In A Small Town”. IMO, this song isn’t promoting violence as some have suggested. It is simply expressing a point of view that many American people share which is against the obvious violence that we have seen from the likes of so many “activists groups” in this country in recent years and the belief shared by millions that this behavior would not be tolerated by many people in many places across the USA. God bless America and all the people in it. 🇺🇸
In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous. There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it- and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage -and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music- this one goes too far.
As so many pointed out, I was present at Route 91-where so many lost their lives- and our community recently suffered another heartbreaking tragedy. NO ONE, including me, wants to continue to see senseless headlines or families ripped apart.
Try That In A Small Town, for me, refers to the feeling of a community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of background or belief. Because they were our neighbors, and that was above any differences. My political views have never been something I’ve hidden from, and I know that a lot of us in this Country don’t agree on how we get back to a sense of normalcy where we go at least a day without a headline that keeps us up at night. But the desire for it to- that’s what this song is about.
As we get ready to head to @ToledoSpeedway for the first time, here are some quick facts about the famed Ohio oval!

My grandfather Ralph Earnhardt bought this truck in 1966. Through some friends help and determination, it belongs to the family again. Original engine. Gonna get tires and brakes working, and drive it around a bit. No resto plans. Just glad to have it.
I still have no words for the loss of Coy. My heart is crushed for the Gibbs family. Praying for all of them.
The only thing that makes sense is that God’s ways are not our own. This world is full of pain but it’s all temporary here. Tomorrow is not promised. Heaven is eternal.
Congratulations @joeylogano! Good dude and and good Champion.
Cool owner and a great manufacturer in @FordPerformance.
Been a ton of crazy storylines all year. Some learning was done, but all-in it’s been a great year for @NASCAR. 💪
