00:00In that bucket of ice cream, are you eating it as if you may never eat out of that bucket again?
00:05well
00:06I'm not planning on racing next year
00:10I'll be foolish to say I'm never gonna run again because I don't know well enough to to stay away from it and
00:18I'll probably miss it next year and be absolutely willing to sign up to anything that might be beneficial to junior motor sports
00:27I have to remind
00:30fans and and people that follow us that I
00:34Run this race and have ran this race over the last several years because of the big benefit that it is to junior motor sports
00:40It's a package deal where Hellman's and Unilever has put their logos on
00:47Justin's car and it's helped fill out that car
00:50and so if it you know, I don't have a
00:54Requirement to run next year, so I may just not do it and and sort of you know
01:00and I will take I will miss it terribly regret that I didn't race and
01:05Probably in 2026 find me somewhere that I can go compete
01:10In the Xfinity series again, but right now I don't have any plans, but that's kind of the way I like it
01:15I just if some if a partner comes together with a package that helps one of the other cars fill out
01:22Multiple races that we have some inventory
01:26I'm absolutely on board to doing a race
01:30for that reason alone
01:32So I'm not against it at all. Just right now. We don't have any response, you know responsibility Hellman's is not
01:39Requiring me to run that race next year to continue their partnership
01:42So I'm just gonna see how badly I miss it and see I mean, you know
01:47I figure only got a handful of these years left to be relatively somewhat competitive
01:53but
01:54I'm all I'm gonna be fine. I found what I love to be honest with you driving that late-mile stock car
01:59I mean the reason why the reason the things that I'll enjoy tonight are there as well and
02:05I can go some grassroots racetrack and have a good time and enjoy
02:11What I love about driving cars just the same so I'm gonna continue to do that next year as well
