00:01would have made the Final Four without the win.
00:06So why potentially risk making people angry

00:13But at the same time, Bill McInerney

00:17That's what we're here to do and championships.
00:19So it's definitely a risk to race like that.
00:24But in the same time, I felt like our truck was good enough
00:27and our guys did deserve to win this week.
