00:00A playoff point, ten stage points, you take them and move on.
00:03When you come to these road courses, you have to define success sometimes in a different
00:10way.
00:11Is it the finishing position or is it the amount of points you scored?
00:14Shane is going to come out of here with most likely, if nothing happens in the last lap,
00:18with a playoff point and at least ten regular points right off the bat.
00:23He knows he's going home with a playoff point.
00:24It's hard to get those.
00:26That piece is important to him for the rest of the season.
00:30It's going to make his life a lot harder for the rest of this race, for sure.
00:34The question to me right now is if he's going to beat once the caution comes out or if he's
00:39going to try to stay out and continue to run.
00:42We are seeing that the fall off is just at one second right now from his fastest lap
00:47to right now the wear out tire.
00:50It's not huge.
00:51You know, last year we were having a few second fall off here in Sonoma, so it's quite different.
