00:00 >> But this night belongs to Christian Echols. First time he's delivered at Bristol.
00:10 >> Going to taste so sweet, isn't it? >> I'm so happy for he and that team. Great
00:15 effort and he was able to hold off the best in the trucks ever.
00:22 >> Let's go to Josh. >> Christian Echols, you used the word redemption
00:27 earlier after what happened here in the playoff race last fall. How sweet does this feel?
00:34 >> It's so sweet. Yeah, there's a lot behind this win. I talked about it earlier and the
00:40 fans here are crazy. I love it. There's just so much behind this win from last year, missing
00:48 out on the championship four and losing the race with five to go. To come back and redeem
00:53 ourselves is our number one goal. Not only that but the first three races, how terribly
00:58 they've gone. We've had a lot of issues and to come back and run really good, it just
01:04 shows the resilience of this team. So just super pumped, ready for the next 19 races.
01:10 >> Christian Echols, your winner at Bristol.
