00:00Here in Victory Lane, we found another member of the Burton household. This one's personally my

00:03favorite to talk to because the celebrations are epic. We know what it's like sitting atop the

00:07pit box with Kim Burton, but your son is an Oscar Cup Series winner and is a winner at Daytona.

00:12What's it feel like, Mom? I don't think it's really sunk in yet. Amazing. I knew he could do

00:18it. I believe in him since he was four years old. I've watched him do, you know, up through the

00:24light, up through his age, going up through his ages, and I'm so excited I can't even talk right

00:30now. It's just, I can't believe it, but I can. I believe in him, and he deserves this just as much

00:37as anybody else. When did it go from stressed to elated? When did the emotions kick in for you that

00:43he crossed the start-finish line first? I closed the whole last lap because I kept listening to

00:47Jason telling him, blocking low, blocking high, and I just figured that he was going to get turned

00:51around and be in the air, and I didn't want to see that. So I opened my eyes just as they were

00:57going across the start-finish, and I saw he was in the lead. But you got it done. Congratulations.

01:02Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
