00:00I saw you slam your fist on the roof.
00:07What's the frustration?
00:08Take me through that last lap and what you need to do maybe differently.
00:12I just feel like I've put myself in position time after time and this race team has helped
00:16me do that.
00:17And in this moment, I kind of, I'm going to see the replay here for the first time.
00:20I go left.
00:21Yeah.
00:22And it just, he tries to come with me.
00:24So I hate it.
00:25A.J.
00:26And I mean, we were awesome.
00:27They were the best two that weren't Toyotas all day.
00:29And I just had a run and I had to go and I felt like it was a run I had to take to
00:33try and put myself on the bottom to win this race.
00:35I felt like the bottom was going to win it in the four.
00:38And yeah, I mean, I don't know what to do there.
00:41So I hate it.
00:42I love him like a brother.
00:43You know, he and I have been in this for a long time together and I don't want to turn
00:47someone like that.
00:48But I would have liked to have been able to finish on a green as well.
00:50You know, we had such a strong spike for Chevy.
00:52It's fast.
00:53It's been the Internet.
00:54And it's just we did everything right.
00:55We never let it lap.
00:56But I got to think we were probably the most in the top three.
00:58So we had a really strong car, strong night and overall.
01:01But I just want to win one of these damn things so bad.
01:04Frustrating.
01:05But to your point, it was a really good points night.
01:07You'll leave plus 44.
01:08How big is that for the team after the penalty incurred earlier in the week?
01:12Oh, yeah, it's huge.
01:13You know, I mean, this was a big, important night and it was a big opportunity.
01:16You know, last year we came in the worst position and had a big night something about Daytona
01:21in the summer.
01:22I love.
01:23But I just I don't know.
01:24None of it feels like it even matters without a win.
01:26I just I got to win one of these damn races.
01:28This is ridiculous at this point.
01:31I just want to win.
01:32Marty, this night feels bittersweet for Parker Klingerman.
