00:00with another solid day. But there were a lot of unknowns headed into this race. Any surprises
00:05for you out there? Um, yeah, I mean, I was a lot of surprises that wasn't really sure
00:09what to expect with the tire. And, um, yeah, the racetrack kind of changed a lot. I thought
00:16throughout the day, the lanes changed a lot. We were able to move around. I thought it
00:19was actually much better race than I was anticipating it being with the repave. So, um, thought
00:26all that was really good. Congrats to Ryan. He did a great job getting up through there
00:29and, um, always good to see him get one if we can't. But, you know, I think, uh, ultimately
00:35really proud of our Napa team and just continuing to put together solid days. Just just need
00:42a little bit more toe to kind of set the pace and be up there leading laps like I feel like
00:46we can. So it's nice to be in the fight, though, and have a shot there. They're in the closing
00:51laps. You mentioned the solid days with this third place finish. This is the second straight
00:55top five. But more importantly, you're the only driver to finish in the top 20 in all
00:59of the races this season. What do you feel like you guys have done right that maybe other
01:03teams are missing? Um, well, I feel like we've been, you know, working on the right things
01:08throughout the course of the season. But just to finish all the races, you have to have
01:12some good fortune. Go your way. I think we've been fortunate to stay out of trouble. Uh,
01:17you know, trouble a couple days where we probably should have been in trouble. Eso that stuff's
01:23gonna happen, and it's just part of racing. But, you know, for us, we just gotta focus
01:27on the things that we can control, and that's a good prep throughout the week and bringing
01:32fast race cars like we've been doing and keeping ourselves up there in the fight and let the
01:37rest of it kind of figure itself out. So proud of proud of where we're at. Just gotta keep
01:40it. Keep it rolling. Keep chucking podium finish for Chase Elliott in this team. Yeah,
01:44you talk.
