00:00Zach or Neil on NASCAR.com.
00:01Martin, has this weekend felt any different getting ready
00:04for this one, knowing that this is the last one
00:07of your final full-time career?
00:09Yeah, yes and no.
00:11I mean, I guess a little bit.
00:12I don't really know the significance of it.
00:14I guess it hasn't really sunk in yet.
00:16But I'm excited for the weekend.
00:17We had good practice yesterday.
00:18And I think as far as preparation,
00:21it's been the same as usual.
00:23So we'll see how it goes.
00:25But I'm not sure it's really sunk in yet.
00:28And I'm not sure, really, of the emotions.
00:30I'm not super emotional, I guess.
00:32So we'll see what happens after the race.
00:34But I'm looking forward to having a fun weekend
00:36and hopefully a great day tomorrow.
00:38This paint scheme, was that something
00:41you had any input on?
00:42Was that a surprise to you?
00:43Do you know how that came about?
00:45It was a surprise to me.
00:46I had no idea.
00:47Very grateful for it, though.
00:49It was one of my favorites, for sure,
00:51throughout my career that I've had.
00:54Doesn't quite look exactly the same as vinyl.
00:57Used to be paint back in the day when that car was painted.
00:59It was metallic.
01:01So a little bit different.
01:02But it looks amazing.
01:04And big thanks to everybody, JGR and Bass Pro
01:06for putting it together.
01:07It's really special.
