00:00It is this guy that goes back-to-back and tapping your shoulder in a celebration that
00:07went viral in Lane.
00:10You told me ahead of this race that you wanted to be a playoff spoiler, and you were doing
00:15just that.
00:16What do you attribute this breakout for you to?
00:19Oh, my gosh.
00:20We have just learned so much with the cars and trucks, and my team, Dillon, my crew chief,
00:25he's badass.
00:26He works so hard at night, and, you know, we as a team, we're at Yellowstone.
00:29We're a young team.
00:30I think the oldest guy on the team, the average age is like in their 20s, so it's so amazing.
00:37It's just to be running fifth, tenth, and all of a sudden go back-to-back in the playoffs.
00:41Man, I wish I was in the playoffs so bad.
00:43I think we'd be a real threat to win this championship.
00:45I am so not surprised that you just thanked your team there, and I know that they can
00:48hear this over the speakers, but I talked to your crew chief, and he talked about the
00:52belief that they have in you.
00:54What does their conviction do to you for a driver?
00:59I'm a bad mug.
01:00That's what they said over the radio.
01:01I wasn't scared to throw it against the fence tonight, and, man, the track was so fun.
01:04I'm so glad they didn't put the P.J. 1 on the track.
01:07So much fun.
01:08I mean, even at the very end, you could run the bottom or the top and make equal lap time,
01:11so I know this cup race is on Saturday night.
01:13It's going to be really awesome.
01:14Hopefully everybody tunes in, but, man, just what a shout-out to Loves for being on the
01:18truck.
01:19You can't miss the big yellow truck.
01:20Infinity communications, Jeff, two in a row, buddy.
01:22Wish you were here, man.
01:24Ha, man, everybody's helped me so much to get here, and Jay Schultz is forgetting me
01:27in this truck.
01:28Best agent there ever is.
01:29Well, it may be more of a muted celebration this week on purpose, but we know that passion
01:34is radiating out of that guy, mama.
