00:00 >> Noah Gregson in the number 10 with a top ten this week.
00:03 It's six as you bring it home here at your home track of Las Vegas.
00:07 What did you find late in the race?
00:08 The ten started cooking, you started picking up speed.
00:11 What led to the top ten finish?
00:12 >> I think just the never quit attitude for this fanatec number ten group.
00:17 They work really hard.
00:20 I did a terrible job in qualifying.
00:22 We qualified 30th and the thing had a lot more speed in it.
00:26 But just kept working our way up.
00:27 We got up to 20th by the time of the first caution, 15 laps in, 10 laps in.
00:32 And then fell back.
00:35 And then just progressed all day every day, or all day long.
00:39 The picker did a great job.
00:40 >> You got to go this way.
00:44 >> Okay, thank you.
00:45 The picker did a great job and Andrew called a great race.
00:50 There's no quit in this team.
00:51 We're really together right now.
00:54 It's only our third week.
00:58 Grateful to be in front of the hometown crowd.
01:00 Get a top ten.
01:01 I was trying my tail off to get fifth.
01:04 We didn't get there.
01:06 Just a lot of fun.
01:07 More top tens this year than I've had in my whole career.
01:10 That's pretty cool.
01:11 Three races.
01:12 We're going to keep working and clean a lot more stuff up.
01:14 Got a good restart at the end.
01:17 Just really thankful.
01:18 >> We saw two super speedways to start the season.
01:20 Now we get into the meat of the season and what your team can do.
01:24 Any confidence heading to Phoenix knowing what you accomplished today?
01:29 >> Definitely a little bit of confidence.
01:31 I'm the type of person to ride the waves.
01:33 I feel like I'm trying to find more balance and be more even kill.
01:36 For the longest time I was riding the highs and lows.
01:40 This is a confidence booster.
01:43 Phoenix is a different kind of track, different aero package.
01:48 These guys built fast race cars.
01:50 They're really fast.
01:54 We're excited to get back out there at Phoenix next week and keep the momentum rolling.
