00:00Boy, after the disappointment at Miami, Ryan, the disappointment with the odd restart there.
00:07How did you put it all behind you and have such a determined last run?
00:11Yeah.
00:12I don't know, man.
00:14Just I tried to save my rear tires early.
00:18I started struggling with my rears when I would get to traffic the run before.
00:22I think it kind of paid off for us.
00:25So proud of the effort by everybody in the 12 group never giving up and to have another
00:29shot at a championship is really special.
00:31So appreciate it.
00:32Discount time and all.
00:33It's Ford.
00:34Everything for what they do and try to go back to back next week.
00:37You are three seconds behind and not happy with how that restart came off there, Ryan.
00:42How in the world did you make that happen?
00:44I mean, was that one of the more determined drives of your career?
00:47Yeah.
00:48More than that.
00:49I got nothing left.
00:50I was.
00:51Oh, my God.
00:52I'm tired.
00:53So good battle.
00:54And yeah, just car hung on longer than most.
00:58Could really make some ground.
01:00So yeah, they just worked on the car all night.
01:02So I really appreciate them.
01:05Everybody who makes this thing possible.
01:06Roush engines and 12 boys are awesome.
01:09So let's go second.
01:13Second in Miami last year, you won Martinsville.
01:17You went on to win a championship this year.
01:20Second in Miami.
01:21You win Martinsville.
01:22What about next week in Phoenix?
01:24Try to do same thing.
01:25There you go.
01:26With a thumbs up to the hometown crowd.
