00:00 TJ's MQ, Jack Mann for the winning crew today. You guys are victorious again, the
00:05 number nine crew. I've talked to your driver, to your crew chief, this never
00:08 give up attitude for this team. What's the last two seasons been like for you guys?
00:11 Bob, it's been a battle up and down, you know. At times it's hard to
00:17 stay positive, but we've kept the same group of guys together for so long that
00:20 we know to pick each other up when whenever things are bad or with
00:24 different drivers in the car, whatever it is, you still just approach it with a
00:27 championship mentality and a smile on your face and just be blessed to be out
00:31 here at the racetrack. If you've never been around the racetrack, you guys play
00:35 music. Music is playing now. You play a pre-race. So what was the warm-up track
00:40 for today? We have to know the winning playlist. So I actually watched Happy
00:43 Gilmore on the way out here. Phenomenal movie. So it was the Happy Gilmore
00:47 soundtrack. So if you haven't listened to that or watched that movie in a while, a
00:52 bunch of great hits on it. But right now, Wrecking Ball, Miley Cyrus, phenomenal. You
00:57 can run to it. You can dance to it. You can cry to it. Anything. Finally, you guys
01:02 clutch on Pit Road today. It came down to a lot of pit stops. How do you feel about
01:06 the effort here on Pit Road? Great. I feel like as a pit crew, we've just been
01:10 getting better and better and starting to hit our groove. And you know,
01:14 it's nice to come out here and just put it all together. You know, there's some
01:18 races where things don't go your way and there's some tough situations, but today
01:23 we... Chase was great. We were great. And we went out there and laid it down. It was
01:28 fun. Congratulations. Welcome to the playoffs. Thank you. Wrecking Ball.
