00:00Kyle, you've had a lot of good cars in your career, but is that the best car maybe you've
00:04ever had?
00:05I don't know.
00:06I've had a lot of good cars since I've come to Hendrick Motorsports, so it's tough to
00:12say.
00:13But, man, that was just great execution all weekend by the team.
00:17You know, practice good.
00:18You've got to qualify good.
00:19We did that.
00:20And, yeah, just had a great car.
00:22So thanks to the whole 5 team.
00:25They're the best in the business.
00:28We dominate a lot of races, but we might not close them all out, so it feels really
00:31good to close one out here in the centercars.com Chevy.
00:35We got Rick Hendrick here today, too.
00:36He hasn't been to many of these races this year.
00:38And Darrell Jackson, he's our hype man.
00:41He's here as well.
00:42So great.
00:43You know, just a phenomenal car, could kind of manage my stuff, and then you'll really
00:48pass some cars there at the end.
00:50In front of these Bristol fans, I want to put this win in context.
00:54The most laps ever led by a Hendrick motorsports driver in a race, beating drivers like Jeff
00:58Gordon and Jimmie Johnson.
01:00That's pretty awesome.
01:01That's really cool, because as you mentioned, I mean, there's been some legendary hall of
01:06famers race for Hendrick motorsports, and we've all grown up watching Jeff Gordon and
01:11Jimmie Johnson dominate.
01:12So pretty cool to add my name to another record at Hendrick motorsports, and, again, just
01:19very fortunate to be with that group, Chevrolet, junior almond bar prime, everybody involved,
01:26Avalon.
01:27It's so much fun, and especially racing in front of you fans here under the lights at
01:30Bristol.
01:31This is my favorite track, and I hope you guys enjoyed that race there and enjoyed the
01:38methodical lap traffic run.
01:39How cool was it to have this moment with Owen for the family?
01:42Yeah, it's great.
01:43You know, we had a little boys weekend here this weekend.
01:47Caitlyn, hi to you, and Audrey and Cooper, they're at home right now, so we'll have a
01:51long drive home tonight, but we'll bring some hardware home, too.
01:54Kyle Larson with an absolutely dominant performance in front of the Bristol fans, and he gets
01:58to celebrate with young Owen, who's going to get a ride to the elevated victory lane
02:03here at Bristol Motor Speedway.
