00:00Yeah, I mean, it's really incredible, you know, three in a row for Team Penske and Roger
00:09and Ford.
00:11Jim Farley was here today.
00:13That's a massive deal for Ford, and it was really great to have him here, and super excited
00:17for Roger and Walt Czarnecki and, you know, Tim Sendrik, Bud Denker, Jonathan Gibson,
00:22all those guys who put it together.
00:25And yeah, I mean, Penske won, too.
00:29I think that's the first time I've ever won one, too, in the championships.
00:31That's a huge accomplishment.
00:33So yeah, I think our group just does such a—Team Penske as a whole does such a great
00:37job of being prepared for these right moments and kind of in the playoffs, but we also have
00:43speed all year.
00:44I feel like our speed in general, like the 12th team, I can only speak on us, like we
00:47had really great speed all year.
00:49Just wasn't the most consistent year of getting a—tore up a lot of DNFs.
00:53But I feel like our pace has been really good, and we ended the year really, really strong
00:56on speed.
00:58So I'm proud of that effort, and, you know, it's just kind of—you know, gosh, we go
01:03through it every year, 22, 23, and this year we sit around, and, you know, beginning of
01:08the year and in the summer a little bit and come in the playoff time, all of our employees
01:13have to sit around and listen to people saying that we suck and we don't deserve to be here
01:17and why are they in the playoffs and all that, and we've won the last three championships.
01:24So this team does a great job of rising to doubters, and it's really cool to be a part
01:30of that team, and they just work their asses off to figure out what we need to do to get
01:35better every single week, and they know how to rise to the occasion come playoff time.
