00:12What were you thinking in those closing laps?
00:15You try to manage it the best you can.
00:17It's just the luck of the draw and who gets the best push and everything.
00:21That was some Doug Yates horsepower right there.

00:57How much stress was on you and was there a little bit of doubt starting to creep in?
01:01I've been telling people, I've never been so frustrated being the points leader.
01:05It was the weirdest feeling in the world.
01:07We've been so good pretty much all year, just top five, and just haven't been able to break
01:11through the year until now.
