00:00Steve, it was a huge day for Chase. They came in this race 44 points out. You're now 25
00:05points out of the playoffs. And at one point in Stage one, you were fighting to stay on
00:09the lead lap. You restarted the red flag in 23rd, but you came home second. How did you
00:14pull that off? Yeah, the rain saved us for sure. We were terrible in the dry, and we
00:19knew, you know, typically on the road courses and even the ovals that we've ran in the rain,
00:22we've been pretty good. Truthfully, I didn't expect to drive up to second. But yeah, really
00:27good recovery for that forward. Cool for them to this their first time ever in the
00:30sport and to come away with a chance at a win. And it was fun recently there at the
00:34end and slipping, sliding around. The track was changing. A lot is like spring car racing
00:38and just, you know, the group was literally changing lap in and lap out. So yeah, if you
00:43told me two hours ago that we would ran second, I don't think I would have believed you. But
00:46overall, yeah, great, great day for us and definitely needed one. Just kind of turn the
00:49ship around. It's been a real struggle. Yeah, good. Good overall day for sure. You ran second.
00:55So I think a lot of fans want to know, how would you assess these wet weather tires and
00:58what we just all went through and experienced here over the last second portion of his race?
01:02Yeah, I thought it was really good. And, you know, truthfully, I think we could have probably
01:05started with the track honestly a little bit wetter. The beginning was pretty fun. We were
01:09like all over the place. Five wide at times and slipping, sliding around. It's it's been
01:13really encouraging, I think, to see kind of the wet weather progression of how aggressive
01:17we've been with it. I think we can continue to do that, even from a visibility standpoint.
01:20I mean, it was totally fine with no wipers, anything. So I'm all for rain racing on the
01:24ovals and even on the road courses, too. So hopefully we can get some more of it. It's
01:28a passing grade for Chase Briscoe, Kim.
