00:00Kyle Channing, Larson, I told you they fell in love with him during the month of May.

00:08Kyle, you've won some big races in your career, but this is Indianapolis.

00:12Is this ranked number one now?

00:16It's for sure up there.

00:19Like you mentioned, this is just such a prestigious place and such hallowed ground and pretty

00:26neat just to get an opportunity to race here on the oval again.

00:30What a job by our team.

00:33Never gave up at all.

00:34We had the pit stop issue there early on and just fought and dug and had things work out.

00:43Can't thank them enough.

00:44HendrickCars.com, Baveline, Chevrolet, Ginja Ramen Bar, Prime.

00:48All the fans, too.

00:49I love you, Indiana fans.

00:50And I know you guys love me, too, so how about we come back next May and try to kiss

00:59these Greeks on the IndyCar?

01:00Is that a guarantee?

01:01You're doing the double again?

01:02I'd love to.

01:03I'd love to.

01:04We'll work on it.

01:05So I hope we can announce something soon and see you guys all next May.

01:09Does this make up for the month of May that you had this year, Kyle, when you left very

01:12disappointed?

01:13It does.

01:14I mean, I guess a little bit.

01:17I wish we could have got to do both and run the 600 because we had a phenomenal papaya

01:22orange car for that race, too.

01:26I think everything just comes full circle and everything's meant to be.

01:29And today was definitely felt meant to be for us.

01:32With the way the strategy was working out, Brad running out of fuel, me inheriting in

01:36the front row and all that.

01:38Just a lot had to fall into place, and thankfully it did.

01:41So I just can't believe it.

01:43It's just surreal to win here.

01:45And I can't wait to kiss these bricks with my team, Rick Hendrick, who's here finally,

01:50my family, my friends, everybody.

01:52My parents are here.

01:53So we'll be celebrating these next couple weeks.

01:56There's only one crown jewel left for Kyle Larson to check off the list.

02:01That's the Daytona 500 because now he's a winner at Indianapolis.
