00:00 >> And Dave, Bubba Wallace finishes 16th.
00:03 Not enough to get you to the next round.
00:05 What was missing today here for you guys?
00:07 >> Texas.
00:08 That's what I thought about after we got spun there.
00:14 You know, this weekend was incredible.
00:17 Just from the effort from the team, from myself, just all clicking, right?
00:20 And it felt really good to be competitive and run up front and pass cars on road courses
00:24 and not be passed.
00:25 There's a lot to look at, but what I analyze is what could I have done and not be in that
00:32 situation?
00:33 Could I have been faster, passed another car?
00:34 You know, had to be better.
00:36 You're not putting yourself when you're racing around there with squirrels.
00:38 So it is what it is.
00:41 Just didn't have enough and it wasn't in the cards.
00:43 I guess that's what 30 is.
00:45 I'm not mad.
00:46 I'm happy for the team.
00:47 I'm pumped for our season.
00:48 It's not over with yet.
00:49 I'm really excited for next week in homestead, martinsville.
00:53 Phoenix.
00:54 I might just go on vacation then.
00:56 But we still got a full race to go out and do it.
00:59 So proud of the team.
01:00 I appreciate them.
01:01 >> I saw mj give you a big hug.
01:02 What did you learn about yourself and the team and were able to show other people during
01:06 your playoff run?
01:08 >> We're putting all the cards in the right places, you know?
01:12 Usually couldn't count on a 23 at a road course race, right?
01:14 I don't think I can say that anymore.
01:16 I don't think I can say I'm stuck at road courses.
01:18 Back to back really good runs at road courses.
01:21 Finishes were okay.
01:22 Usually not today.
01:23 But just got to keep working on your craft.
01:26 No matter how hard it can get, you got to keep working and trying to learn and be better.
