00:00 >> Do you remember what you saw at the end of the race?
00:04 >> I remember the picture.
00:05 When the picture finally popped up and we saw that we were cross first.
00:08 That's what I remember and hopefully that's what I always remember from it.
00:11 >> Talk about the communication you had with Daniel that last lap.
00:15 >> I was quiet.
00:16 I was on the intercom probably just talking to our engineers and left it to Frank and
00:20 Daniel and they knew exactly what to do.
00:22 We had been talking about it all week and watching films.
00:25 So they executed perfectly and really proud of them and all of our guys.
00:29 >> You had to avoid things.
00:31 Handling was a big issue.
00:32 Take me real quick how Daniel did throughout the race.
00:35 >> He kept his head in the game.
00:36 All the guys did.
00:38 It was lap two I think we wrecked and we were on pit road putting baraband on, fixing the
00:42 car.
00:43 Had to come back in several times at the end of the stage and keep working on it.
00:47 Everybody just keeping their head in the game and keep fighting.
00:50 It's just a true testament to this team and what they can do.
00:52 >> You're the new face at track house and victory lane on your third race.
00:56 >> I know.
00:57 It's great.
00:58 I knew we would get here.
00:59 I just didn't know it would happen this quick.
01:01 I'm ecstatic.
01:02 >> The pressure is off.
01:04 Does that help with the momentum moving the rest of the season?
01:07 >> It allows us to try some stuff.
01:09 Experiment with some set ups.
01:11 We can go to Vegas and try something new and build some set ups for the playoffs.
01:15 >> Welcome to the playoffs.
01:16 >> Thank you.
