00:00Well, an interesting victory lane.
00:02I know you got to partake in victory lane outside,
00:04but it's still raining.
00:05Christopher Bell, weather's the conditions here
00:07at New Hampshire.
00:08I don't know if you know this stat or not,
00:10but this win is your seventh of the 11th
00:12for NASCAR's National Series winning at New Hampshire.
00:15What is it about this place for you?
00:18I wish I could tell you what it was.
00:19I honestly, I don't know.
00:21I thoroughly enjoy this racetrack, though.
00:23I can promise you that.
00:24And today was obviously nothing like any
00:27of the previous races we've ever experienced here.
00:29And it made it so enjoyable to race in the wet.
00:32You're always searching around for different lines.
00:34What is the fastest line?
00:35Nobody knew.
00:37And then as soon as it starts drying out,
00:38you're just, the track conditions
00:40are changing more and more and more.
00:41So it was a really fun race and something
00:45that is completely unique and a first time for NASCAR history.
00:49Well, kind of ironic that the dirt guys
00:51found their way to the front, finding grip
00:53and finding these lanes as the track was drying.
00:55You were still on the wet weather tires.
00:57Moving forward, what would you like
00:58to see on these wet weather tires?
01:00Because I think you were a fan.
01:01You made it to victory lane with them.
01:03Yeah, I mean, I thought it was awesome.
01:04And I feel like genuinely, we could
01:06have gone back racing earlier.
01:08And hopefully, this is a first of many for NASCAR,
01:12where we're able to race through the damp conditions.
01:14And I think it was a home run for them.
01:17In my eyes, it was, at least.
01:19Congratulations.
01:19Thank you.
