00:00Get out of here Jeff, go be with your son, and Kim, and celebrate, what a beautiful night.
00:18Yeah buddy, yeah buddy, good job buddy.
00:25Let's go man, good job buddy, get out of here.
00:29Woo!
00:41I think it says a lot about the young man, when he will not be in the 21 car next year, that this entire team comes out to congratulate him.
00:51Mom Kim just behind us with tears in her eyes.
00:55Not only the 100th win for the Wood Brothers, number one for you Harrison Burton.
00:59Welcome to the playoffs, for you personally, what does this mean?
01:05I don't know, I cried the whole victory lap.
01:11I obviously got fired from this job, and I wanted to do everything for the Wood Brothers that I could.
01:21They've given me an amazing opportunity in life, and to get them 100 on my way out is amazing.
01:29We're in the playoffs now, let's go to Darlington and see what happens.
01:32So I want to talk to you about this team who could have easily given up once the ride changed,
01:37and they knew Josh Berry was getting in this car, but they never gave up on you.
01:42What was the point of how they were able to rally around you?
01:45It's amazing.
01:47It's been the hardest three years of my life, obviously the hardest three years for some of these guys' lives.
01:53And to win the way that we just did, to be the best in the business, Kyle Busch across the line, it's pretty fantastic.
02:02I made a bet with Jeremy, my crew chief, that if we won, we're staying here and driving home,
02:07so we'll be at a bar somewhere, come find us, and we're going to celebrate this one.
02:12Who are we going to have to calm down more, your mom or your dad?
02:15My mom. My dad was pretty calm on the radio.
02:19My fiancee, Jenna, and my mom are both crying.
02:22And all those people have been with me in the worst days of my life and the best days,
02:27and good to get Dex Imaging and Victor Lane and get them another best day.
02:30It is a terrific day for the Wood brothers, but Lee, I think you said it best.
02:34What a night for the Burton family. Harrison Burton now in the playoffs with a win at Daytona.
