00:00Such an incredible playoff run continues for this 48 crew. Alex Bowman. Let's first walk through that final restart. You got squeezed out in the middle there a little bit. Anything you could have done different there on this closing laps?
00:09Yeah, I mean, I felt like I could push Martin and probably run third, like once the guy gets clean air, you're done. And, you know, third doesn't really cut it this time of the year.
00:19So I tried to be really aggressive and there was an opening in the middle and I got there and everything was good.
00:25And it kind of sat on the left for the last minute, got tied off a two and killed my momentum. But, you know, at that point, rather go for it for a win and then just accept where you're at.
00:36And unfortunately, it didn't work out, but didn't crash. Anybody didn't crash myself and still ended up OK.
00:42You mentioned not cutting it, but I will tell you what will cut it to possibly get the Phoenix this team of every single stage in the playoffs.
00:49You guys have earned points. What is it about the 48 crew that's clicking on all cylinders right now in the postseason?
00:55Yeah, I mean, I don't know that we've really changed a whole lot. I'm kind of doing business as usual.
01:00And yeah, I'm really happy that this this ally 48 team has everything clicking.
01:05That's been really nice. We've just kind of had more pace. So happy about that.
01:09Wish we would be leaving here with a trophy. But yeah, we're in a good spot.
01:12You ready for Talladega? Yes or no.
01:14Nobody's ready for Talladega.
01:16Thanks, Alex.
