00:00 Yeah, I know it was you know, anytime I'm on pit road and I'm always thinking of the sheet and the statistics and the the
00:06 The pieces of information that we have of what we try to gauge ourself to the rest of our competition with I mean
00:12 there's probably five or six different sectors of pit road of things that you worry about to make sure that you're the best at all of
00:19 those and
00:20 You know
00:21 one of those is getting on to pit road how you roll your pit road speed with your lights how you get into the box how
00:25 You get out of the box how you exit pit road get back up on the racetrack and blend and so all of those things
00:30 You want to be perfect every time and so?
00:32 For me I had come in the previous two pit stops before that before the one I slid through where I came in way too
00:38 Light and I'm like, okay. I'm I'm coming in way too light. I'm giving up if it's a half a second
00:42 I don't even know what it is, you know, and I'm so I'm like, okay
00:44 I'm gonna make sure I hit it this time and I hit the sign the way I need to hit the sign and everything else
00:49 And so that's what happened on the next one
00:51 I came in as hot as I thought I needed to come in and when it locked the rear tires
00:55 With the brakes it just slid and it slid two inches too far. So
01:00 One week you're too too short the next year too too long
01:03 Kind of crazy, but all in all just yeah frustrating day to to have the the disaster that we did on pit road
01:11 Of just being really slow and then for me to slide through to kind of add insult to injury on my behalf
01:18 We otherwise would have been
01:20 You know a top ten finisher so that that was the day that we needed
01:23 And we certainly lost a lot of points.
