00:00 >> Second straight runner-up finish here at Darlington for Austin Hill.
00:03 Austin, a strong day obviously, but what more did you need to catch the 7?
00:07 >> Well, I've been at Chevrolet as fast as XFINITY Internet all day.
00:11 The driver wasn't.
00:13 I just couldn't get into turn one on restarts like I really needed to all day.
00:19 I think a lot of it is just me.
00:22 I just got to figure out what to do differently getting into turn one.
00:26 I did really good with my launches, that's something I've struggled with here where I'll
00:30 buzz the tires late in the zone.
00:34 Didn't do that all day.
00:35 I felt pretty good about my restarts.
00:37 When I get down into one, I would always get tight.
00:40 A few times I get on the splitter and stuff.
00:43 More so than anything, I got to do a better job inside the race car.
00:45 I thought we were just as good as the 7 all day.
00:49 Congrats to those guys.
00:51 But yeah, we just -- we're just a little -- just that little bit off today.
00:55 I think most of it was me.
00:57 I think our car was fast enough.
00:59 But we'll go back to the drawing board.
01:02 Try to be better for the next one.
01:04 We've had speed everywhere we go.
01:05 We just got to keep finishing them off and we'll end up in victory lane again.
01:10 >> What can you say about the job your pit crew did several times got you ahead of the
01:13 7 when it came to getting out of pit road?
01:15 >> Yeah, that's probably what I'm more frustrated about than anything else is that my pit crew
01:21 killed it all day and then I would lose a spot on the racetrack for them.
01:24 So sorry to those guys.
01:27 They bust their asses off to get me off pit road first and then I lose it getting into
01:31 turn one.
01:32 So just frustrating day all day.
01:33 But hopefully we'll go back to the drawing board.
01:37 There's things I can learn going forward and we'll get us one here eventually.
01:42 >> Austin Hill top ten in every single start here at Darlington.
