00:00He gets his second win at the brickyard.
00:06Before we get into the meaning of this, that last lap, walk me through how you were able
00:11to overtake Erik Amarillo.
00:14This is Indianapolis.
00:17This is the most famous racetrack in the world.
00:20It's an honor just to walk in this place, let alone win it.
00:24Man, we've had speed all year, Kim, and I felt like we could win.
00:29I just messed up on the restarts a little bit, and watching it right here, it was a
00:34good fight.
00:35I thought I had cold clear, and then he said bottom of three with the 20, and I was like,
00:38oh, this is going to be tough, but, yeah, I mean, I just continue to work, continue
00:42to work, continue to work.
00:43It's been a pretty tough week on me mentally, to be honest with you, Kim, so I'm proud of
00:48these guys, proud of everybody at Stuart Haas racing.
00:51Obviously the news of us shutting down, these guys could have given up on me, gone to different
00:54teams, but they stuck behind me and Cole, and that's back-to-back wins for Stuart Haas
00:58racing.
00:59Thank you so much, Monster Energy.
01:00I love you guys, everybody in Corona.
01:03Thank you to everybody in Las Vegas, my family.
01:05This is fun.
01:06I'm going to go drink beer and turn my phone off for three weeks.
01:09On the pace laps before the race, you talked to us about how sacred this place is.
01:13What does it mean to do it and to do it with your family here, with your parents watching?
01:17Yeah, this is hallowed ground, honestly.
01:19This is the Indianapolis motor speedway.
01:22Every person in the world wants to race here, and I won here.
01:27I don't care if it's the XFINITY series, this is the cup series, it's the go-kart track
01:31out back.
01:32This is the brickyard.
01:33This is Indianapolis.
01:34This is the coolest racetrack in the world, and I love you guys, and yeah, this is pretty
01:39sweet.
01:40Congratulations.
01:41That is Riley Hurts.
01:42He is a winner at the brickyard.
