Transcript
00:00Remember how this Monday started for Tyler Reddick. He restarted the day six and fell
00:05back to 20th on the first restart of the day. But at the end of the day, delivers Toyota
00:11their first Michigan win in nine years in front of some great fans who hung around on
00:18a Monday afternoon. So, Tyler, you didn't want the bottom on that final restart. How
00:23did you make it work, though? Just just great teammate. Fantastic push by Ty Gibbs. So that's
00:28what it's all about. The Toyota Racing family tries to take care of each other. Yeah, let's
00:32talk about the role this team is on. You and I talked about it yesterday. Have you ever
00:36been despite the disappointments with the second place finishes on a role like this
00:40in your career? It's been a minute. It's been really cool, but I can't help but sit here
00:45in Victory Lane and think of Scott Blomquist, man. Huge mentor to me, an incredible role
00:50model and legend of dirt racing and motor sports. So the last couple of days have been
00:55tough and this really helps it. And so this win, I think, should go for him and his family,
01:00his friends and all that meant a lot to him. One of the more emotional weeks for you, Tyler.
01:05Then, in that regard, it's tough. It's always tough when someone you care about passes away.
01:11But my thoughts are with him and his family. By the way, the boss man, Michael Jordan,
01:15was here earlier this year for you. When in Talladega, he left last night. You couldn't
01:19convince him to stay. Maybe I should have. We had a bad restart going into the night,
01:23so I didn't know how it was going to shake out for us in our McDonald's Camry, but we
01:27did a really, really good job today and rebounded from that. I think we were one of the last
01:30cars in the lead lap to start Stage 3, so great effort for us. All right, Tyler Reddick
01:34collects a checkered flag here at Michigan. There's Bo coming in for the celebration with
01:39Dad. Tyler Reddick, 23.11 win here at MIS.
