00:19 started 30th. Six career XFINITY win. Amazing strategy by everybody. Tell us about your
00:26 day. >> They did a really good job. Greg made a
00:29 good call. I think ultimately that was what won us the race. I felt like I needed a little
00:34 bit with my balance and to make as much pace as like the 7 and a couple of those guys.

00:46 for the boss. And Linda, obviously a great honor here with the Ricky Hendrick scheme.
00:54 It means a lot to all of us to be a part of this whenever it runs. I appreciate the boss.
