00:00Yeah it's um yeah it kind of feels a little bit like that it's it's you know
00:05it I'd say at Wilkes-Barrel it was more of a relief when we won whereas this was
00:10just pure excitement because you know let's be honest we were mediocre today
00:15we weren't the fastest car by no means but you know Paul's strategies worked
00:20really really well throughout most of the race and we just stayed aggressive
00:26the whole day and it worked out. So in that final restart I mean what did you
00:31think your chance were of making it going that far I mean were you just set
00:36on I'm just gonna do what I'm gonna do or was there anything in the back of
00:39your mind this this little seed going like I don't know man we've stretched
00:43our luck pretty far here. I mean Paul said I had like three laps to the good
00:49before the final before the restart before that one and then we ran a you
00:54know a lap and caution came out like well geez there was one and I got a pace
01:00and clean my tires off and then go again I didn't feel good about it I could say
01:07that much but you know you just like I said you cross your fingers say a prayer
01:12and hope that there's just enough gas in it but I'm telling you what there wasn't
01:17a drop to spare I've never won a fuel mileage race before something that close
01:23so that was a neat thing to do.
