00:00 >> With a fourth place finish here at daytona, chase Elliott will not make the 2023 playoffs.
00:06 What more do you need in those final laps in terms of pushes to go fight for the win?
00:10 >> I really like where we were before the caution.
00:13 And honestly, after the restart there, we had the bottom lane that we wanted.
00:19 I knew the 6 was going to go with the 17.
00:22 I thought the 4 was going to take the bottom and they did.
00:25 We really had all the help that we could ask for behind.
00:27 I just couldn't stay locked on to Kevin like I needed to to surge the bottom lane forward.
00:35 Brad and Christopher there just had a good enough hold on that top lane and they could
00:41 kind of control each of them.
00:42 But yeah, it's a bummer.
00:44 For sure.
00:45 Hate the season has worked out like it has.
00:48 The good news is a car got in.
00:50 And an owner's point.
00:52 That's a big deal.
00:54 Big credit to Allen and everybody for continuing to work and scratch and claw while I was out
00:59 to keep our team alive and give ourselves a chance.
01:03 That's a big deal.
01:04 Probably much bigger than a lot of people realize to our team.
01:08 So looking forward to these next ten.
01:11 And try to make a little noise on that side of things.
01:15 And just try to get ready and prepared for next year.
01:17 But I appreciate everybody's support through this season.
01:20 Hasn't been what I would want by any means.
01:23 But certainly going to be some lessons taken from it.
01:26 And I think we'll be better for it on the other end.
01:28 >> Value and effort and a lot learned, Marty.
