00:00Well, Tyler Reddick may have just driven the most clutch 25 laps of his racing career of
00:05all time.
00:06How did you feel about those final laps coming here in the Roble?
00:09They weren't perfect.
00:10Got into a few friends along the way, unfortunately, but I had to get places.
00:14I had to get this Monster Energy Camry back towards the front and just really proud of
00:20the effort of this whole team.
00:21I mean, we knew exactly how much time we had available to us on Pitt Road to work on this
00:27car and try to fix the right rear corner of this vehicle, and, I mean, it got speed
00:33back by the end of it, but, I mean, it was a totally different race car from stage one
00:38to stage three at the end there.
00:39So clearly some stuff still really beat up, but the team did an excellent job of getting
00:44the most out of the car and getting me, the race car, back to some degree that allowed
00:49me to be able to do those maneuvers.
00:51You passed a ton of cars there in the closing laps.
00:54You guys fixed a broken toe link at one point in the race.
00:56What does it say about this team now looking ahead to the next three weeks trying to still
01:00contend for a championship?
01:02Yeah, we're still chasing top tens, but, you know, it's going to get really serious here
01:08soon.
01:09You know, I mean, there's going to be eight of us, eight of the best, and, you know, we're
01:11going to the tracks that have been our bread and butter majority of the year.
01:16We've got to go to those races and run top five all day, and if they give it away, we
01:20need to steal it and take a win and get ready for Phoenix.
01:23That obviously would be ideal.
01:26Welcome to the round of eight.
01:28Glad to be back.
