00:00 >> Kyle Larson brings it home second.
00:03 You just heard Denny.
00:04 He loves to win.
00:05 It was a good battle between you two.
00:06 Especially the last ten laps there, Kyle.
00:09 Anything you could have done differently with your race car?
00:12 >> Not in the last ten.
00:13 But just losing the lead on, you know, when I got to restart as a leader.
00:21 I went late in the zone and Martin was trying to time it behind me.
00:23 He hit me right when I wanted to go.
00:25 It just like screwed up.
00:26 And I got a lot of wheel spin and he was able to outrace me into one.
00:32 His car was really good on the short runs.
00:35 I could pace it and get closer to him at the end of the runs.
00:39 But it's just so easy to air block.
00:42 Not that he was doing anything dirty or anything like that.
00:45 It's so easy as a leader, especially in a place like this, to shut off the air on the
00:50 guys behind you.
00:52 >> I knew and I got within three car lengths to start moving around.
00:57 I just couldn't really do anything.
00:58 I was trying all sorts of different angles and speeds and all that.
01:02 Nothing could generate enough speed to get, you know, close enough, I guess, to do anything.
01:09 So that was a bummer.
01:11 But a great day.
01:13 For our Henry cars.com Chevy team.
01:15 Started 21st.
01:17 Drove up to sixth in the first stage or fifth.
01:20 And then got a stage win.
01:21 So that was good.
01:23 Good points day.
01:24 But we would have loved to get a win.
01:27 Always fast here at Dover.
01:28 Just need to be a little bit better on the restarts.
01:30 I've lost a lot of races on restarts here.
01:32 So just keep trying to get better.
01:36 >> Well done.
