While in the Capital Region, Sammy Hagar had hopes of meeting the New York State Trooper that wrote the now infamous speeding ticket that inspired one of his biggest solo songs "I Can't Drive 55".

As you can see in the video Sammy Hagar enjoyed a beautiful day in the Capital Region, highlighted by time spent at the track. It appears Sammy and his entourage placed at least one winning bet and Hagar used his powerful Red Rocker voice to start the festivities with the following command:
