00:00As you look at those final couple of restarts, specifically when you got held up by the 21
00:04on old tires, is there anything you could have done differently in that moment?
00:09For sure.
00:10I think any driver can do something a little bit different.
00:12I tried to go high.
00:13I tried to go the middle.
00:14I tried to go everywhere I could, but he made his car pretty wide, which is his ride.
00:19We're all going for a championship, right?
00:22It just sucks that it ended up screwing us over worse than it did the 7 and he was able
00:26to slip by.
00:27I can't say congratulations enough to Justin and all those guys.
00:31He's definitely a deserving champion.
00:33They were fast all night.
00:34I hate it came down to tire strategies and stuff like that, but, man, I can't say enough
00:40about our group.
00:42Everything they've done over the last two years, J.T., everybody in that shop worked
00:45so hard.
00:46I just wish we could have ended it out with a championship for SHR, but it just wasn't
00:50meant to be on those restarts, but I'll think about it.
00:53I'll try and find a way.
00:55Somehow I could have done it better, but I can't thank Haas Automation for performance.
01:00Andy's frozen custard on the car this weekend.
01:02It stings for sure to be second, but, man, I'm really happy for Justin.
01:07That was a long time coming for him.
