00:00 It was Dover yesterday, one of my favorite places on the face of the earth. My last win.
00:05 Hey, I got to get myself props on that one. But I'm not there. I'm at the Kyle Petty charity
00:10 ride across America. I am in Deadwood, South Dakota, getting ready to start. 28 years and
00:15 still going strong. Thank you guys. But I want to talk about Denny Hamlin yesterday.
00:20 Denny Hamlin ties my grandfather, Lee Petty, at 54 wins. That is huge, people. That is huge.
00:28 Only 12 guys in the history of the sport have ever climbed that 54 mountain, and Denny Hamlin
00:34 is one of them. Denny's that guy that came into the sport that had tons of talent and tons of
00:39 speed, but that's all he had, talent and speed. He's taken that speed. He's corralled it after
00:45 all these years, and he's taken that talent, and he's become that guy that has that magic bag of
00:50 tricks. He can start anywhere, anytime, and make something happen in those last five or six laps
00:56 of the race. We saw him make a mistake at Texas. He learned from that mistake. He comes to Dover,
01:01 and he gets it done. He gets it done. He will go down in history as one of the greatest drivers.
01:07 His peers, as we look at the guys who started at the same time he did. Martin Truex, same year.
01:13 He has 20 more wins than Martin Truex. When we look at guys like Kyle Larson and Joey Logano,
01:19 he has 20 more wins than these guys. He is the class of this generation. Believe me,
01:24 he'll be a top 10 guy.
