00:00 >> The most laps led ever in an all-star race.
00:04 Joey Logano, a million-dollar check he's taken home.
00:07 Walk me through this race.
00:08 You had a pretty good seat there from the front the whole entire time.
00:12 >> It was a pretty good seat.
00:13 It was a great execution from the whole team.
00:15 That's why we had that.
00:17 We came up here, did the tire test a month and a half ago.
00:21 Paul is like that coach from the movie "Miracle."
00:23 He's like, again, running the drills.
00:26 We ran 880-something laps in a couple of days.
00:29 I think it was 30 sets of tires or something.
00:31 It was crazy.
00:33 We learned a lot and worked hard to get our short track package tuned in good, particularly
00:38 here at Wilkes-Barrel.
00:39 And then coming yesterday, being able to put it on the pole, which I feel like is one of
00:45 the most challenging poles to get.
00:46 When you think about all the different things that go into it, you have to go fast on the
00:50 lap but also into the pit stall and on the pit road and rolling and the pit crews have
00:54 to do their part.
00:55 Everyone is a team effort.
00:56 It's special.
00:57 Being able to hold that clean air throughout the whole race.
01:01 I think the only lap we didn't lead is because we were pitting.
01:04 So just really proud of the whole team executing that.
01:07 We needed a win.
01:08 It's been a while since we've been in victory lane.
01:10 I wish this one had some points but a million bucks feels pretty good, too.
01:14 >> You talk about that million dollars.
01:15 I know you said it wasn't a points-paying race.
01:18 But now we'll head into the longest race, the crown jewel of the Coca-Cola 600.
01:22 Give a little swagger to this 22 crew heading into Coke 600 week.
01:26 >> Doesn't hurt.
01:27 Doesn't hurt.
01:28 Coke 600 has always been sitting there, the one I really wanted to check off.
01:34 We're going to enjoy this tonight first before we look too far forward.
01:38 Definitely probably by tomorrow morning we'll start thinking about how we can win the 600.
01:44 We still need points.
01:45 We still need to get ourselves locked into the playoffs and do all that.
01:48 This is a nice momentum piece for sure.
01:50 Nice to prove to ourselves we still got it.
01:52 Just got to go execute next week again.
01:55 >> Congratulations.
