00:21We took the gamble that it would get dry enough.

00:24We were all watching lap times closely and obviously, congrats to the 48 on that call

00:28that worked out, and a lot of those guys that made the gamble to stay out on wets had

00:34been running far back in the field, not contending.

00:36So we were of the point of, you're going for the win, staying aggressive, getting slicks
