00:00A nice recovery.
00:04You guys head out of here with four to the good above the elimination line.
00:07Can you walk me through the recovery of the day for the number nine?
00:09Long day.
00:10I feel like our car was actually really good.
00:13We'd make a lot of ground and then lose it all on pit road just because of the bad pit
00:18pick.
00:19That's just what happens.
00:20It's, yeah, just hard to, you know, have everything go perfect when you set yourself that far
00:28behind.
00:29It's just, yeah, you know, I would have liked to have a few more, you know, a few spots
00:34better, you know, result.
00:36I thought our car was really respectable.
00:41Just never could.
00:42We were just fighting uphill battle all day and never could really get a big chunk and
00:46then keep it.
00:47You know, we were always kind of fighting back.
00:49So yeah, it could have been worse and, you know, we'll go to Talladega and try to make
00:54it through.
00:55You mentioned that uphill battle.
00:56Obviously having to fight your way through the field, not a ton of stage points for this
01:00crew.
01:01How do you attack the next two weeks in the wild cards?
01:03Yeah, basically none, you know, but basically no stage points, which ended up working out
01:07okay I guess with the way the, you know, the guys slip in the second stage.
01:13But yeah, we just, yeah, we'll go to Talladega and run and see what, see what it brings.
01:17Thanks, Chase.
