The video, directed by Peter Zavadil, begins with an old man in the hospital, then cutting to archival Super 8mm footage of family videos, as well as shots of Church at Nashville Speedway with his band.
The song is Church’s fourth single from his current album, The Outsiders, which was nominated for Album of the Year at the 2014 CMA Awards and is up for Best Country Album at the 2015 Grammy Awards. And while the tune is named after a famous speedway, Church says the song is about much more than racing.
“It has nothing to do with that,” Church told Billboard.biz of the song and its relation—or lack thereof—to auto racing.
“That is nothing more than the avenue through which the commentary took place. It’s really about life. What you see on TV there has nothing to do really with racing. It’s about that experience, whatever that is: the experience with the person next to you, and knowing that that’s probably a finite time in your life. It’s not gonna last forever.”
