00:00 >> Kyle Busch knew exactly what he needed to do today.
00:04 And by golly, you almost did it.
00:05 That was close.
00:06 >> Yeah.
00:07 Yeah, no.
00:08 That's what we set out to do.
00:09 That's what we felt like our road course program had in it anyways.
00:12 Was for sure a top three.
00:13 Definitely a win.
00:14 Guys gave me a great piece today.
00:16 The Lenovo Camaro was pretty fast.
00:18 Just lacked a little bit on the long run.
00:20 Just didn't quite have the feel of the tire that I was really looking for to be able to
00:23 turn into the corners and to be able to drive out of the corners and keep pace with the
00:27 front two there at the end.
00:28 Felt like I was holding up the group behind me.
00:30 But the 54 cut me some brakes there.
00:32 So that was nice.
00:33 But overall, this ride is on me anyways.
00:36 The first two weeks of this round was obviously not very good.
00:40 And we didn't score any points.
00:42 So that's where it's at.
00:43 That's where it lies.
00:44 You know, Texas, Talladega, just not being able to execute and do a good job when points
00:48 were on the line.
00:49 So it sucks to be out, you know, this early.
00:52 But let us do Texas over again.
00:55 And I feel like we're right there.
00:56 We're ready.
00:57 >> We're apologetic to the team on the radio in cool down laps.
01:01 But you've changed your mindset when you talked to us last week.
01:03 It was like, yeah, I know I need to do some things differently.
01:05 So a couple of Ws left in the year?
01:08 >> That's what we want to do.
01:09 Go out on a high and win a few more races.
01:11 That would definitely be good.
01:12 You know, so, you know, I look forward to Vegas.
01:15 Vegas is my home track.
01:17 So I want to go out there and run good.
01:20 You know, then we've got homestead, which has always been a pretty good track for me.
01:22 And then, of course, Phoenix as well.
01:24 So I would love to be the spoiler on that Sunday.
01:27 That would be fun.
01:28 So we've got our work cut out for us.
01:29 But we'll keep building.
01:31 And first year at rcr means a lot to me for Richard having me and for the Chevy guys having
01:37 me, everybody, to get this far.
01:39 And, again, you know, ride is on me to get to the next round.
01:42 So I just got to do a better job.
01:44 >> Strong day today for Kyle Busch.
