00:00 >> Boy, Ryan, how did you regain that momentum after you lost it and how were you able to

00:06 get by Kevin Harvick and hold him off?

00:08 >> I don't really know.

00:10 Pretty wild.

00:12 Pretty wild last restart but let alone last couple laps, you know, kind of losing momentum,

00:18 getting it back.

00:20 Just getting clear to the bottom to kind of get to the front row and drag race it out

00:24 with Kevin.

00:25 Really proud of the whole 12 group, man.

00:27 >> Benz oil, Menards, body armor, advanced auto parts, everyone who makes this possible.

00:34 So cool.

00:35 I went three times here at talladega.

00:36 That's super cool.

00:37 I have to give a big thanks to Riley Herbst.

00:40 He did a really good job there.

00:42 The last couple restarts.

00:43 He hasn't had a lot of cup starts but he did a great job of pushing me.

00:46 Thanks to him.

00:47 This is so cool.

00:49 Thank you, everybody, for coming out.

00:50 This is so special.

00:51 I can't wait to have fun tonight.

00:52 >> If you ever question if NASCAR is a game of inches, that was 12.

00:58 One thousandth of a second.

01:00 What do you see from behind the wheel when it's that close, Ryan?

01:07 >> I want to buy more than I have the last couple here.

01:10 That one might have been about four feet.

01:11 The others were about two.

01:12 You just don't know.

01:13 You just kind of drag race the line.

01:16 Hope you get help.

01:18 William gave me a pretty good shove on the bottom.

01:20 He's kind of forced to.

01:22 I wasn't sure until Josh said something.

01:25 Josh did a fantastic job on the roof like always.

01:28 This is such a special place to win at.

01:29 I can't wait to go to victory lane.

01:31 >> There you go.

01:32 Maybe the better part of all of this, Rick, they do not have to worry about the roval

01:36 next week.

01:37 Team penske and Ryan brainy have advanced to the round of eight.
