Country music star and Garner native Scotty McCreery has driven the same truck for the past 10 years.
McCreery got the truck in 2011 as a part of winning "American Idol." He named the brown, Ford F-150 pick-up "Loretta," after singer Loretta Lynn.

The truck also helped inspire the title track from his new album, Same Truck, which was released a few weeks ago.
McCreery wrote 10 of the 12 tracks on Same Truck. He describes the album as "deeply personal."
The first single from the album, "You Time," was partly inspired by McCreery's wife.
McCreery married his longtime girlfriend, Gabi Dugal, in 2018 in the North Carolina mountains. Dugal, who graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, works as a pediatric cardiac nurse at Duke University Hospital.
McCreery said he wrote "You Time" with co-writers Frank Rogers and Aaron Eshuis at a time when he had been traveling more than usual. When he got home only to see his wife leave for her shift at the hospital, he wished for more time with her.
