00:00And, Grant, I want to go back towards the end of that race.
00:03You and your team are going back and forth on that fuel safe.
00:05How much conviction do you have in this crew?
00:09Man, we've had a truck actually just as good at Darlington, kind of just had bad circumstances.
00:15My buddy Tyler Young let a tear off get on our grill, kind of took us out of contention
00:20there.
00:21But I think the truck we had here was equally as good.
00:24And I feel like we're able to take a disadvantage with whatever happened on that restart.
00:27I didn't think I did anything wrong.
00:29And my buddy Christian was, I guess, trying to split the middle and just cut our tire
00:33a little bit.
00:34But just racing, Tim wanted to carry, he wanted to restart on the bottom, I wanted to restart
00:39at the top.
00:40So I guess he was right on that one.
00:41I was wrong.
00:42But at the end of the day, Jeff St. Witts just had the best truck out here.
00:45Just gave me power equipment.
00:46Chevy was really fast after about five laps yesterday, and it was the same way today.
00:51So Tim did a good job of managing me with the tires.
00:54And then Jeff did a good job managing me with the fuel.
00:56I felt like I saved at least 20% more than I did in the first run.
01:00But yeah, Jeff was on me pretty hard.
01:02Obviously, the 38 ran out, looked like the 2 ran out as well.
01:05So yeah, hard to beat these two weeks.
01:09Your team on the radio after you crossed the line and saw that checkered flag said, you
01:15are the man.
01:16Two wins in this playoff.
01:18How great is it being Grand Infinger right now?
01:22It's definitely good.
01:23Like I said, we've had potential all year.
01:27And I don't feel like, you know, there's been some times I haven't executed.
01:31There's been some times we just had bad luck.
01:35But maybe this is the time we get our momentum.
01:37And like I told the guys, we'll just not get too worked up over this one.
01:40Just focus on Phoenix.
01:41But it's hard not to have momentum.
01:43I think according to my buddy that tells me all the things I need to know, that should
01:49mean we got pit stop choice or pit stall choice for Phoenix.
01:53But yeah, just overall, proud of the execution of these guys and more than anything, just
01:57proud of the speed.
01:58I mean, we had the fastest truck all day.
02:02And when you do that, you can even have some slip ups or mistakes and overcome them.
02:06Grand Infinger, your winner at Homestead, Miami.
