00:00Tyler Reddick here finished eighth at Sonoma. We saw damage between you and the
00:04five. How much did that affect your finish today? I don't know. I don't think
00:07it visually like on the body it doesn't look like it. So yeah the wheels off a
00:12little bit but I was just stupid. I was on cold tires and was gonna be really
00:18hard to hold them off anyways and yeah I kind of just fell for it. So I don't know
00:23I guess we'll know for sure I get back to shop but but certainly weren't as
00:27good. I didn't have a great restart that also played a big factor but even when
00:34we kind of got some clean air after you know we put the second set of tires on
00:38we just didn't seem as good. So go back and look at it and try and understand
00:42what like get away from us but I was nice we got a playoff point out of it
00:46and our Monster Energy Toyota Camry but yeah obviously you know the five was on
00:51a similar strategy to us. He won the race and we finished eighth so we were
00:57doing the right things we just didn't have the restart we needed. You mentioned
01:00doing the right things the fight of this 45 crew you guys didn't give up today
01:03and got a top ten in regards to it but with Iowa looking ahead to the last
01:08race before a couple off weeks how do you guys manage the Iowa next week? It'll
01:13be what it'll be at Iowa we just trying to learn and adapt just like we did this
01:19weekend right new surface here it's gonna be new service at Iowa so we'll
01:23just be ready for it make the most out of the 50-minute practice that we're
01:26gonna have and hopefully we'll have another shot out of there. Thanks Tyler.
