Luke Combs posted a photo and video collage of NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace's new car with Combs' name logo on it, and according to his Instagram, Luke loves it.

Combs posted the clip on Instagram, writing, "Honored to be the inspiration behind the design on the @columbia1938 and @23xiracing No. 23 Toyota for Saturday's race at Daytona. Go get 'em @bubbawallace!"

Many fans reacted to the post, and feelings were mixed among NASCAR fans. One fan commented, '"So many salty tears in this comment section... Prolly Chase fans are missing out on the playoffs! Getchu some Bubba!!" Another fan said, "Luke & Bubba 2 favorites!!" One more fan asked, "When is the die-cast going to be available?"

Luke was in Daytona Beach, Florida, to perform the pre-concert ahead of the 2022 Daytona 500. This year, he will be traveling back from his concert tour in Australia.

Combs recently announced his "Growin' Up And Gettin' Old" U.S. Tour, with dates starting in April of 2024 through August.

Luke said in a statement, "We got an opportunity to do two shows in some U.S. markets on the World Tour, but when I found out we were going to be able to do two shows for most all of the cities on the 2024 tour, I decided I wanted each show to have their own unique set up of openers, as well as my own unique setlist. I thought this would give people an opportunity to come to both nights if they want but see two completely different shows."

He added, "With country music being such a wide genre and being a huge fan of it all myself, I wanted to open up my stage to acts that lean into Outlaw, Americana, and Red Dirt on Friday nights, as well as having a night with people I have toured with in the past, who are more contemporary country. I'm super excited to have both groups be out on the road with me for the Growin' Up and Gettin' Old Tour!"

St. Patrick's Day (3/17) is all about feeling lucky and having the luck of the Irish with us as we celebrate all things green and enjoy a beer or two. Country music has had its fair share of songs about being lucky in love or just being lucky in life.

As we mark 2023's St. Patrick's Day and Luke Combs releases his new lucky song, "Five-Leaf Clover," we look at the Top Five Country Music Songs about being or maybe just feeling lucky.

5 - Mary Chapin Carpenter - "I Feel Lucky" (1992)

The first single from carpenter's album Come On Come On. The song reached number 4 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. The chorus includes the lyrics, "I feel lucky, / I feel lucky, Yeah. / No Professor Doom gonna stand in my way. / Mm, I feel lucky today."

4 - Elle King - "Lucky" (2022

A song about how lucky she was to have her son whom she named "Lucky." The chorus includes the lyrics, "I got lucky / Well, ain't that somethin' for someone just like me / Who don't deserve a damn thing? / I know broken, beat down / And I know I show it then and now / But, hell, I chose it, yеah, I own it / And it brings me to my knees / I got lucky."

3 - Faith Hill - "The Lucky One" (2005)

Faith sang this top ten hit on her NBC TV special Faith Hill: Fireflies. The chorus includes the lyrics, "'Cause you're mine / That's all I need to know / The sunshine's everywhere we go / It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold every night / Yeah, I'm the lucky one / I'm the lucky one."

2 - Montgomery Gentry - "Lucky Man" (2006)

This song was lucky as it received a 2008 nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, the duo's first nomination. The chorus includes the lyrics, "But I know I'm a lucky man / God's given me a pretty fair hand / Got a house and a piece of land / A few dollars in a coffee can / My old trucks still running good / My ticker's ticking like they say it should / I got supper in the oven, a good woman's loving / And one more day to be my little kid's dad / Lord, knows I'm a lucky man."

1 - Luke Combs "Five Leaf Clover" (2023)

Released on St. Patrick's Day, this new Combs gem was inspired by Luke finding a five-leaf clover on his Tennessee property. The chorus includes the lyrics, "I know I'm a lucky man, but I ain't sure why I am / Cuz it ain't like anyone deserves the world in the palm of their hand / Now I hit my knees, thankful as can be / But the one thing I can't get over / How'd a guy like me, who'd have been fine with three / Wind up with a five-leaf clover?"
