Brad Paisley Celebrates With Hendrick Motorsports – Photo of the Day

Country Girl — Thu, 24 May 2012 19:30:04 +0000

Brad Paisley hit the road to Charlotte, NC to celebrate with his friend Rick Hendrick on the historic 200th NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win for Hendrick Motorsports that was captured by Jimmie Johnson on May 12 in Darlington. The event was held last night at The Fillmore in Charlotte where Paisley performed a full show for Hendrick, drivers, families and crew.

As the music began to start the show Jeff Gordon came out with guitar and white hat. The look alike was enough to trick the audience for a few seconds as well as the band. Late in the show Paisley was joined on stage by Hendrick for a unique performance of “Old Alabama.”
