00:05 Sam called that a racing incident.
00:07 Do you agree with that?
00:08 >> Yeah, you know, I think when you have to race out of desperation like that and you
00:11 wheel hop and clean the leader out, it's just -- I guess you can call the race a movement
00:17 in that book.
00:18 It just really sucks.
00:19 We had a really fast monster energy.
00:22 He gets us Toyota supra.
00:24 I really appreciate all the hard work from them.

00:31 It definitely sucks to get cleaned out there.
00:34 So had a good time running these things this year.
00:37 >> When you lead as many laps as you lead today, 70, have a day like you had, how do
00:42 you make your peace with the result and the result the way it happened?
00:46 >> For sure.
00:47 I think it's just -- it's a part of life and it's a part of racing.

00:54 When stuff like that happens and desperate moves like that happen, it's just part of
01:00 it.

01:07 >> Do you feel like you need to have a conversation with Sam?
01:10 >> I don't know how much of a conversation you can have with him in that situation.
01:16 Like I said, we kind of grew up around race and each other.
01:19 I think we have more starts than I do.
01:21 This is his second win.
01:22 So congratulations to him on the second win.
