00:00Back at Indianapolis motor speedway where Tyler Reddick has won the pole for the brickyard
00:06400.
00:07I was talking to you.
00:08I said it looked like you were celebrating the car.
00:09You said, I didn't know.
00:10I didn't think I did good in turn one.
00:12Walk us through that pole winning lap.
00:14Just qualifying today, it seemed like it was pretty sketchy for all the cup series drivers.
00:19I think some of it is the placement of the all-star finish line where everyone is pushing
00:24so hard through turn four.
00:25Just try to be mindful of that all day long.
00:28Especially in round one.
00:29We had a big moment over there.
00:30We didn't lose momentum, which is super key at a lap here.
00:34Round two, I knew what the target lap time was.
00:39I did not feel great about my turn one, but the rest of the lap, this beast unleashed
00:44Toyota Camry was really, really stout.
00:46It's just really cool.
00:47I mean, I've been very fortunate to come here and have a lot of speed on the road course.
00:53It's great to be back on the oval here and have that speed again.
00:57So I'm excited for tomorrow.
00:59We're going to have an awesome opportunity with pit selection and obviously our Toyota
01:03Camry is really fast.
01:04Just proud of everyone at 2311 and everyone at TRD, everything they do for this group.
01:10Just excited to see what tomorrow has in store.
01:11Your owner Denny Hamlin was standing by watching.
01:13You unseated him for the pole.
01:15What's that like?
01:16Well, I've always been on the other end of this.
01:19What made that scene even worse was it was at road courses.
01:23It's nice to be on the other side of that for once.
01:26Obviously him and Chris Capehart, that whole 11 group, is really, really strong every single
01:29weekend.
01:30So it's a big deal for us when we can go toe-to-toe with them.
01:33Congratulations.
01:35What a run we've seen recently from this team, Tyler Reddick and the 45.
01:39They will lead the field to green in tomorrow's Brickyard 400.
