00:00St. Smith with the runner-up finish here at Nashville, your career best in the
00:04NASCAR Cup Series. How'd you survive all the overtimes, all the restarts there at
00:08the end? Yeah I mean I have I have no idea. Obviously proud of our strategy
00:13that we had there with a group of us and then I didn't know how long we were
00:17gonna hold on once we had just all those guys line up with four tires behind us.
00:21But frustrating hearing those guys that are close on fuel but and then just
00:27obviously being short but yeah I mean Nashville is so notorious for the just
00:32crazy restarts how everything just floats up and I don't know if that's
00:35from it being concrete or or what and obviously the aggression is always super
00:39high but just kept choosing bottom and we were able to roll and it's crazy how
00:45much different these cars drive and in cleaner air so it's great to feel some
00:50of that it's it's brutal back there so we showed where our car is capable of
00:56just need to put some more of these weekends together. We didn't know if the
01:0022 had enough fuel to make it there to the end and I know a hot day for you
01:04guys here in Nashville was there anything else at the end you could have
01:06done differently? I don't think so I mean maybe focus on a little bit better three
01:11and four but I wanted I didn't want to baby it through three and four and like
01:16I said these cars the capability and I'm once you're up front and in cleaner air
01:20is so much more versus what you get to feel late further back in the pack so
01:25it's it's crazy experiencing that and that's what I'm here for and experience
01:32this rookie year these are the experiences that I'm looking forward to
01:34compete for better finishes and obviously we all want wins but Sunday is
01:40no joke so just proud of our result. Thanks Zane.
