00:00 >> Well, the man that won tonight, Nick Ottinger, first of all, congratulations.
00:05 Shockingly, with so many laps led, the first win of the year.
00:10 Other races looked like that was going to be, but this car was not to be denied tonight.
00:14 >> Yeah, first off, I have to give a huge shout out to my crew chief, Brandon Hastings,
00:19 our race strategist on the 25 Logitech G team.
00:23 He adjusted the car like we needed for a short run, and it played into our favor.
00:27 I was using the tires up quite a bit, obviously, at the end, but you're going for a spot in
00:31 the final four.
00:32 You're going to go all out.
00:34 So I got to thank our supporters, Logitech G, Warren Bower News Sports.
00:37 I'm glad to get William a win this year.
00:39 We've been knocking on that door forever.
00:41 And like I told people heading into the playoffs, we got some strong tracks for our team.
00:45 And we're looking forward to Homestead now, because that's another strong track for our
00:49 team.
00:50 >> Let's talk about that.
00:51 The championship four, it will be at Homestead, but you have to leave the comfort of your
00:56 normal surroundings and bring your rig to the hall of fame in front of the live audience.
01:01 It was a great event last year.
01:02 How excited are you to be a part of it for this season?
01:07 >> Very excited.
01:08 Watching last year, we had a good run getting into our playoffs with our team, and we just
01:12 had playoffs to get to the final four.
01:15 Huge congrats to Casey again for winning it in such a prestigious atmosphere.
01:20 I think when you have such a -- the industry coming together, Simracing, NASCAR folks,
01:25 people who love Simracing and motorsports in general, it's something special, and it
01:30 was nice to be shared at the hall of fame.
01:31 So at the end of the day, I want our team to be holding that trophy at the end when
01:36 it comes that time, and I think we can do it.
01:38 >> Congratulations.
01:39 It was an impressive run.
01:41 You had a little adversity with the timely yellow and a little bit of strategy, but in
01:45 the end, really, really impressive drive.
01:48 >> Yeah, thank you, man.
