00:00 Sonoma or a road course never disappoints.
00:04 We saw so much action yesterday.
00:06 Maybe one of the best races at Sonoma that I've ever witnessed.
00:11 And I want to say that because I thought this was the most aggressive road course race
00:16 I have ever witnessed in my entire life.
00:18 I want to use an example.
00:20 Tyler Reddick and Kyle Larson.
00:22 They were battling in what would have been the lead as they cycled through.
00:26 And we saw Tyler Reddick sticking in there in bad situations.
00:30 Try to pass in a situation that maybe he shouldn't have.
00:32 Be a little impatient.
00:33 Be a little aggressive.
00:34 And he threw his day away right there.
00:38 That's what you think from the outside.
00:39 That's what it looks like.
00:40 But in all honesty, you've got to get what you can get when you can get it.
00:45 We saw it late in the race when Ross Chastain spun the 8 car of Kyle Busch.
00:50 We saw it midway through the race for 15th, 16th, 17th position with Austin Sendrick.
00:55 Those guys trying to go too wide.
00:57 We saw blocking.
00:59 How about Josh Berry?
01:00 All the way down to the inside and Eric Jones sends him and he wipes out 8 or 10 cars right
01:05 there in that one corner.
01:06 This was aggression.
01:08 It was I've got to get it.
01:09 It's all about me.
01:11 And that's what this car makes these guys do on these road courses.
01:14 It makes them do things that normally they may bide their time.
01:19 When their time came, they took it.
01:20 Come heck or high water.
01:22 And that's why we saw so many cautions yesterday.
01:26 I think this is what we're going to continue to see on road courses with this car.
01:31 Aggression, aggression, aggression.
01:33 At the same time, I hope we start to see the same type of racing on the short tracks in
01:39 the near future.
01:39 in the near future.
