00:00The Southern 500, it should be the starting race of the season, the closing race of the
00:05season, the cutoff race, and we should run all ten of the playoff races at Darlington.
00:12What a fantastic Southern 500.
00:14I got nothing negative to say.
00:15Let me tell you something.
00:16Most dramatic race I think I've seen in a long, long time.
00:21Maybe the best Southern 500 I've ever seen.
00:24There was so much going on.
00:25Yes, yes, yes.
00:26Kyle Larson dominated.
00:28But hey, did anybody know where he went the last 10 or 15 laps?
00:31We didn't even mention him post-race.
00:33What about that?
00:34A guy leads 200 laps at Darlington, you don't mention him.
00:37Bubba Wallace, most amazing qualifying lap I've ever seen at Darlington.
00:41To put that thing on the pole.
00:43He was carrying that car and knew he had to do something to make the playoffs.
00:47Chris Buescher.
00:48We know what happened to him in Tyler Reddick the first race.
00:52He didn't get that sticker.
00:53He didn't get that sticker this race either.
00:55But those guys scraped and scrapped and did everything they could.
00:59Came home 6th or 7th.
01:01But in the end, where did Chase Briscoe and SHR come from?
01:05Those guys don't appear to have showed up all year.
01:08Crew chief talked about all the shenanigans that were going on at the shop.
01:11The chaos that was happening over there.
01:13The 325 employees.
01:15They had to do something for that team.
01:17They had to do something to make it happen.
01:19He willed that car to victory.
01:21It was an emotional victory lane.
01:23It was an emotional day.
01:24That's a great story for the sport.
01:26And the sport is better for teams like SHR.
01:28The sport is better for drivers like Chase Briscoe.
01:32Put his name on that trophy.
01:33And listen, that may not be the last trophy he puts his name on this year.
01:37This is going to be a great playoffs.
01:39And remember, vote.
01:41Keep Darlington the Cutoff Race.
