00:00Your team gave you the fresher rubber.
00:02Did you think that would be enough?
00:04Yeah, I did.
00:05When I made it through a few of those guys on the start, I thought we would have a shot
00:08to get there.
00:09I think I just needed him to have maybe three or four more laps older tires for me to be
00:14able to break through the wake.
00:15Once I got within his air, I really didn't have enough to power through that to get closer.
00:20I was kind of sliding already.
00:22I hate it for our guys, everybody on our team, everybody at RCR and this Morgan & Morgan
00:27Chevrolet.
00:28We've been around the last four or five weeks and we've run a lot better.
00:31That's been much improved and beneficial to our team and the organization.
00:36Something to build on and get better for.
00:39We just missed a lot in the early part of the year and through the middle part of the
00:42year to put ourselves in this spot, to be on the outside looking in.
00:46To come in here for a last-ditch effort and have a shot.
00:51Early in the race, I wouldn't have thought we had a shot.
00:52It felt like we really overachieved there towards the end and got a really good finish
00:56for what we had or what I thought we had.
00:59We'll take it and keep building on it.
01:01It's kind of a tale of two seasons because you had legitimate shots the last month or
01:05so.
01:06In Atlanta, yeah.
01:09It's just short.
01:11Come up short.
01:14Maybe I'm a washed-up old dog, but hopefully I can find a few more trophies.
01:18I think not, but I think you'll be looking for that victory to keep the streak alive
01:22in the last ten races here, right?
01:24Yeah, no doubt.
01:26I wanted it last week.
01:27I wanted it this week.
01:28I wanted it in Atlanta.
01:29I wanted it in Vegas.
01:30There's been a lot of opportunities.
01:31Daytona 500, we were up front all day.
01:34I can count them, at least on a hand.
01:37Maybe I need two hands to count opportunities that have slipped away.
01:40We're achieving right now and getting success from those runs and pulling in the finishes
01:44that we need.
