00:00Well, his strategy was to ride around in the back pretty much for the majority of the afternoon.
00:05But he managed to avoid the biggest big one in Talladega history, Denny Hamlin, tenth
00:09place finish.
00:11Big brain moves with you today.
00:12Yeah, I'll let you give me the credit for an inadvertent losing the draft.
00:17But no, you know, we tried to do the best we could after we had that damage from the
00:21Blaney incident.
00:22I just didn't have the speed in the car and knocked the whole front end up the hoods out.
00:27And I knew that we needed to be in the pack.
00:30So once we lost, you know, the tail end of the draft right there, I knew it was we were
00:35in big trouble unless he called caution and he did.
00:38Well, mission accomplished as far as surviving today.
00:41But you hop above the elimination line, head into the roval next week, which only brings
00:45more chaos.
00:46What are you prepared for for Sunday?
00:47I just want to get through one more one, one more wildcard race.
00:52And then like, then we can go racing.
00:55You know, it's just, you know, there's a lot of cars up front today that got a really
01:00bad finish that that certainly deserve to be have a better finish.
01:04But it's just that's these tracks that they put in there that causes the chaos.
01:08We got one more left.
01:10I just need to have a solid day next week and then we'll go race.
01:13Look at the smile on the ages face.
01:16Thanks, D.
01:17Thanks.
