Fans went crazy for the speed and power in this video. One viewer said it should be put right into the new NASCAR video game. Another loved seeing racing legends Dale Jr. and “The King” in the clip, calling the whole thing badass. Everyone agreed it was the perfect summer song.
Luke’s song is a powerful statement about taking control and feeling free. But years before his version, the band Aerosmith owned that phrase. Back in 1976, an iconic rock band used the same idea for their own song. That original song defined a time and a genre, proving that the theme of a great comeback is timeless.
