00:00 Gateway yesterday. St. Louis. We saw a lot of stuff. We saw some speed. We saw some strategy.
00:07 And we saw some luck. We saw Christopher Bell be the class of the field. Who says there's
00:12 no such thing as momentum? Coming off of Charlotte, he rolls into St. Louis. Same speed. He's
00:18 got it. He's running up front. He's leading laps. He's getting it done. But at the end
00:22 of the race, he's nowhere to be seen. Mechanical issues.
00:26 I'm blowing up. I'm blowing up. Game over.
00:29 That's why you have to watch a race to the very end. And this race is the perfect example.
00:34 We take the Penske organization. They had the strategy. They put themselves in a position
00:40 with Ryan Blaney, with Austin Sendrick, and with Joey Logano running in the top five and
00:45 top ten to take advantage and to win this race if anything happened. And it did happen.
00:50 Remember, I just said Christopher Bell had an issue. Comes down to the last lap of the
00:55 race. Twelve car. Ryan Blaney's leading. The announcers, everybody's already given it to
01:01 him. It's his race. And what happens? Runs out of gas. Runs out of gas. Now if you want
01:06 to see, go to Inside the Race and Larry Mack and Todd Gordon are going to break that down
01:11 on how much fuel they got in the car and why he ran out of gas. But it doesn't make any
01:15 difference. He runs out of gas and Austin Sendrick wins the race. We've seen this happen
01:20 so many times. Gotta put yourself in position. When that first car has an issue, you take
01:26 advantage of it. It's a win! Nobody remembers who runs out of gas. Nobody remembers who
01:31 runs second. They remember. Austin Sendrick, race winner.
