“Someone gave me a car when I was in a tough situation starting my career,” said Walker Hayes. “We thought let’s figure out a way to give this guy a car.”

The country star surprised Mr. Goodall at the Vigo County Fairgrounds with a brand-new Buick, from Fuson Automotive before he heads to Hollywood for America’s Got Talent live shows in the upcoming weeks.

“I’m out of words. I’m not often speechless,” said Richard.
