I couldn't do this [without you]... especially the fans for voting for me. This is unreal, I never thought I'd be in a position like this. So thank you!"

Brad Paisley provided one of the most powerful mom

Brad Paisley provided one of the most powerful moments of the Coca Cola 600 yesterday when he honored Kyle Busch with his performance of "When I Get Where I’m Going" before the race in Charlotte.

Then, NASCAR CEO Steve O’Donnell standing with Samantha and 11-year-old Brexton and delivered words that silenced the entire stadium. “Every racetrack was Kyle Busch’s home. He competed like he had something to prove every single race when in reality he had already proven everything.” Then he said three words that said it all. “Kyle Busch IS NASCAR.”

Brad’s performance connected so deeply because the song spoke directly to loss, family, and remembrance in a way words alone never could.

@officialalanjackson took the stage to sing his Grammy Award-winning hit, “Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)” for the PBS National Memorial Day Concert on Sunday night (May24).

The National Memorial Day Concert featured an all-star lineup of performers who gathered in Washington, D.C. to pay tribute to U.S. military personnel, veterans, Gold Star families, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

Among those who performed were Jackson, Jamey Johnson, and Mickey Guyton, along with Andy Grammer, Laura Osnes, and more.

Jackson couldn't attend the event in person, so he recorded his performance at the Ryman Auditorium. It was the second time that he performed for the National Memorial Day Concert. He also sang “Where Were You” for the event in 2021.

Hosted by Gary Sinise and Mary McCormack, the concert also recognized the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America.

Jackson’s performance comes just one month before he will officially retire from touring.

@dariusrucker will be honored with the Veterans Voice Award at the 52nd @amas, in recognition of his years of dedication to veterans and military families.

Rucker's selection reflects a career-long commitment that extends well beyond the stage — through his work with the Military Warriors Support Foundation, multiple overseas USO tours, and appearances at events including the Department of Defense Warrior Games.

The 52nd AMAs air live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Memorial Day, Monday, May 25, at 8 p.m. Eastern on CBS and Paramount+.
