00:00 >> Grant Enfinger, a dominant performance here at the Milwaukee mile.
00:05 Leads 96 laps, sweeps the stages.
00:08 Even when he lost the lead off of pit road, still able to come back and retake the lead.
00:13 Grant, when we talked earlier today, you found out about the news GMS shutting down at the
00:17 end of the year.
00:18 You said the goal is to prove you guys aren't done.
00:20 Proved it out there today.
00:21 >> Yeah, I don't want to hear anybody ask if we're going to lay down again.
00:25 So Jeff Hensley has been focused the whole year.
00:28 He's been distractions going on all year long.
00:31 So if anything, this adds clarity.
00:32 None of these guys, including me, have a job next year.
00:34 But I feel like we proved we deserve one.
00:37 So it's -- we had a heck of a champion power equipment Chevy.
00:41 I don't think we were that good yesterday.
00:43 I think we were tenth place truck.
00:45 Maybe seventh, eighth place truck.
00:47 But Jeff, he believes in me and I tell him what I need.
00:49 And I believe in him and the calls he makes.
00:51 So we had a winning truck today.
00:54 I don't know if we had a dominant truck, but we had a winning truck.
00:56 And yeah, I got put behind the eight ball there at the end.
01:00 But that was -- I don't know.
01:02 It was fun racing.
01:03 I hope the fans enjoyed it.
01:06 You know, this one is special for a lot of reasons.
01:09 Obviously the news this week.
01:10 But I want to say a big thank you to more Gallagher, Spencer, Ron Booth, Mike beam,
01:15 everybody that's built GMS racing.
01:17 Thank you for everything you've done.
01:18 Thank you for everything you've done for me.
01:20 Also special my spotter, Jeremy Lundy.
01:22 My normal spotter, Tyler, couldn't make it.
01:24 But my late model buddy, best friends forever.
01:27 He's spotted for me.
01:28 He's always been there for me when I needed him.
01:30 I called him on Monday and he came here.
01:32 So that's even more special.
01:33 >> I know you talk about how special it is.
01:35 I know it's one of your crew members' birthdays.
01:37 He told me earlier today -- >> He tells everybody.
01:39 >> -- That he was going to celebrate.
01:41 Shout out to Greg.
01:42 Of course.
01:43 Can you put into words what kind of statement this makes for you guys as well?
01:47 >> I think we've had speed.
01:49 If we executed perfectly, no.
01:51 Did we execute perfectly today?
01:52 No.
01:53 We've had speed all year long.
01:55 When we've hit it, when that guy's hit it, we've done this twice now this year.
01:59 Here in Kansas.
02:00 So we've got three wins.
02:02 But we've had three trucks like this in my opinion.
02:04 So this is a brand-new truck.
02:06 I can't say thank you enough for GMS fabrication, GMS racing.
02:10 Not just this year and not just lately.
02:12 But the whole year last year, there was just as much effort put into this stuff.
02:16 I'm glad some of our fruits are showing.
02:18 >> Grand infinger, your winner at the milwaukee mile.
