"It's such a big deal," Hunt tells Radio.com of his nomination. "It's such a morale boost for the team and everyone who has been working so hard to progress this whole project and everything that we're doing. Not that we're down and out or anything, we've had so many really cool things over the last several months."

Hunt added how great it was to get an endorsement from the ACMs and the fans that voted. While he's had what he calls "little victories" to celebrate throughout the year, he said the ACMs is something he's really excited to be a part of.
