00:00Here in victory lane with the crew chief of the number 45, Billy Scott, who is back in
00:04victory lane.
00:05Last time we saw you back here was Talladega, but you guys get it done at Michigan.
00:08Let's talk about your past 24 hours, though.
00:10What's been going on with you?
00:12Yeah.
00:13So yesterday, got off to a little bit of a rough start.
00:15You know, we're trying to get for stage points there.
00:18We ended up being short on fuel and lost some track position.
00:21So you know, just had to start figuring out how we're gonna get back up there.
00:24When you're walking through the strategy of a race starting and then stopping, keeping
00:28the momentum of this team, making sure Tyler is ready.
00:31How difficult is that for a crew chief to say, hey, we ran a handful of laps yesterday,
00:35but we got to come back and do it again?
00:36Yeah, it's nice just to sit down and treat it like you would at the end of any other
00:40race.
00:41You know, we debriefed a little bit yesterday, but you know, fortunately, we've been good
00:44about that.
00:45You kept momentum through the off season, you know, through the off weeks and kept momentum
00:48overnight.
00:49Now you guys will head to Daytona, which we know is a wild card race, but you have a 10
00:53point cushion.
00:54You're in the lead for the regular season championship.
00:56How do you manage these next two weeks?
00:58Yeah, I think we just go in there and, you know, do like you have this year on the speedways.
01:02We put a lot of work into it this winter between Tyler and our spotter, Nick, and working on,
01:06you know, how to get better at that.
01:07And it's proven to work out so far this year.
01:09So just try to keep it up.
01:11A win at Daytona would be nice, huh?
01:13It would.
01:14We're gonna enjoy this one first.
01:15Congratulations, Billy.
01:16All right.
