00:00 I am here in Victory Lane with Jesse Saunders, the car chief for the number five.
00:03 First of all, congratulations. Welcome to the championship four. How do you feel about your
00:07 crew today? Because I personally feel like it was kind of one on pit road. So how do you feel about
00:12 the five's effort here at Vegas? Ah, really good. You know, they've been good all year. And it it
00:19 didn't surprise me when it took a moment like today for everybody to see it. They've been
00:24 working hard. We didn't start out the year that good. And they put their nose to grindstone. I
00:27 mean, this is the same guys that that won Phoenix, Phoenix for us in twenty one. So, I mean, I wasn't
00:33 surprised one bit. You mentioned the same team. We obviously are seeing the number five kind of
00:38 head into Phoenix with the exact same amount of prep time that they were for their twenty twenty
00:42 one chances. So now heading to Phoenix with this crew with two weeks of prep. Is this a championship
00:48 year for you guys? I mean, that's hard to say. There's a lot of good competition, just like
00:52 there wasn't twenty one. But, you know, the good thing is, yeah, it is time to prepare. We still
00:57 have two races that we're going to focus on. We're not going to just call it in and try to get to
01:01 Phoenix. We're definitely going to go work is just as hard as we have for this race as we will next
01:07 week. So nothing's going to change there. But I think that's I think that's part of us. Like,
01:10 that's our process. And that's I think that's part of the key to us is we don't we don't back
01:14 off no matter what. All right. Prep time two weeks. Congratulations. Thank you.
