00:20:26and they were there to watch me ultimately wreck on lap four but still to this day I come to
00:20:32tracks week in and week out whether it's Texas Motor Speedway I remember New Hampshire Motor Speedway meeting a mom
00:20:39and her son and 20 years later you look over and there they still are the loyalty that that fans
00:20:45have and show us drivers we see that we feel that Joey is a good example of that guys you've
00:20:52had those same scenarios as I have and you're proud of those you see them
00:20:56sitting in a stand still wearing your shirt today and you're like I remember you I would say they announced
00:21:00we're going to do this truck race next year and I've been overwhelmed with fans of mine from 15 or
00:21:0520 years ago that have reached out and talked about how excited they are and it's as special for us
00:21:10as I think it is for them to come back and be a part of it.
00:21:13I sure hope they're still excited afterwards.
00:21:15Yeah I think you lose track sometimes when you're sitting in the seat the impact that you have on on
00:21:20people outside of the race car and why they're watching they're watching because they want to get their mind off
00:21:24of things they either enjoy it they have something that they're a problem that they're fighting and you help them
00:21:30get through those things and I think sometimes as the competitors
00:21:33and in this situation with Joey you get a you get a reminder that that hits really hard well for
00:21:39me it was always I was racing for them too yeah and when I went and got in that car
00:21:43and put that helmet on I was racing for them as long as you share your paycheck with them afterwards
00:21:47that would be a nice thing whatever he does on the track that was a winning move by by Joey
00:21:52Logano another Ford driver hoping to get to victory later the 21 car already had a win at this time
00:21:58last year
00:21:59he's standing by with Josh Sims who is trackside with Worth driver Josh Berry all right Josh so I know
00:22:06you qualified 24th but you guys led 41 laps here last year you showed good pace especially on the long
00:22:11run in practice how you feeling about your chances here today yeah I feel pretty good I thought we had
00:22:16a you know better practice I mean without a doubt we've been we've been working really hard trying to find
00:22:20some of that magic that we had on the intermediate tracks at the beginning of last year but Miles and
00:22:24everybody it's Wood Brothers and Ford Racing everybody's been working really hard trying to find that next little
00:22:29step of speed and felt like we had a solid practice yesterday early qualifying draw probably didn't work on our
00:22:34favor but hopefully we can work our way forward and have a good result it's the Worth 400 today as
00:22:39a Worth driver how special are these weekends yeah it's a lot of pressure for one obviously we got a
00:22:43ton of people here from the Worth group and just can't thank them enough for their partnership with the 21
00:22:47car and the Wood Brothers and and obviously with SMI and Texas Motor Speedway being on board of the race
00:22:52here today so we're we got a lot of fans in the stands here supporting us hopefully we can take
00:22:56them to the front well Josh Berry has a mile and a half
00:22:59half win under his belt looking for another one here today Chris all right thank you Josh and Josh and
00:23:04Barry represented by Josh Jones three Josh's in one sentence this is one of the great tracks for good food
00:23:12and you can smell it for miles you can also smell Clint Boyer coming looking for the tailgate King we'll
00:23:17have that coming up at Carson Josevar he talked to Kevin about dreaming of his win at Talladega and how
00:23:24he would celebrate
00:23:25and he'll expound upon that if you stay with us it's the third of nine mile and a half races
00:23:30the most the drivers compete on this year Denny Hamlin won Vegas that was one of the mile and a
00:23:35half and he's also led the most laps this year
00:23:44we all know everything is bigger in Texas including tailgaters speaking of tailgaters look at this party
00:23:52this is what I'm talking about who runs this outfit
00:23:55I run this outfit
00:23:57you run this what
00:23:59tailgate queen
00:24:03still got it
00:24:06all right queen tell me a little bit about this how did this all start how long you been coming
00:24:1010 years honeymoon on the spot
00:24:13honeymoon at the racetrack
00:24:15at the racetrack
00:24:16and y'all still get along
00:24:17yes we do
00:24:18he ropes me in with his cooking
00:24:19let's get over here and see the grill
00:24:21all right
00:24:25that's what I'm talking about
00:24:27pork ribs
00:24:27beef ribs
00:24:28we got bologna
00:24:30we got boudin
00:24:31we got poppers
00:24:32and we got a brisket
00:24:33that is a true queen
00:24:38all right Christine
00:24:39you know the deal
00:24:40we gotta crown somebody
00:24:42the tailgate
00:24:43queen
00:24:44you guys agree
00:24:48this is the first time ever
00:24:50we have our first tailgate queen
00:24:54what a fun infield
00:24:55this has always been
00:24:56I remember over the years going in there
00:24:58there are some characters in Texas
00:25:00I'm here to tell you
00:25:01but first ever queen tailgate queen
00:25:03and she ruled it
00:25:04she had the party
00:25:05she had
00:25:06she had her old man on the grill
00:25:07man I'm telling them beef ribs look so good
00:25:09I don't think Texas gets credit
00:25:11for the infield they have here
00:25:12I feel like we talk about Michigan or Talladega
00:25:14it's a good one
00:25:15I used to want
00:25:15I used to want to just go out there
00:25:17and unplug the
00:25:17plug the radio out there
00:25:19because it is always
00:25:21it's such a Kevin Harvick thing
00:25:23it is always pumping music
00:25:24and they're having fun
00:25:25I was trying to turn the volume up
00:25:27and turn it off
00:25:27he's trying to blow the generator up
00:25:29he wants to turn the volume up
00:25:30all the time
00:25:31I want to turn it off
00:25:33Kevin with a low-key personality
00:25:35hit Clint Boyer up on X
00:25:37and he may hang out with you
00:25:38on the next race
00:25:39all right to the point standings
00:25:40Tyler Riddick
00:25:41he's led from the start
00:25:42in case you're wondering
00:25:43I know you are
00:25:44no driver has led from points
00:25:46the whole way
00:25:47wire to wire
00:25:48start to finish
00:25:49and that super six cutoff
00:25:51Larson just ahead of Chris Buescher
00:25:53Hosovar up to eighth
00:25:54the top six
00:25:55that's your realistic chance
00:25:56for a championship
00:25:57if you get in there
00:25:57and Cendrick
00:25:58in the final chase spot
00:26:00in front of Briscoe
00:26:01and Chastain
00:26:02time for
00:26:02your level of concern
00:26:04it's either going to be low
00:26:06medium or high
00:26:07based on a driver
00:26:08I'll name a driver
00:26:09and you tell me
00:26:10what the concern is
00:26:11so let's start Jamie
00:26:12with you and Chase Briscoe
00:26:13rough start to the season
00:26:15caught up in a big wreck
00:26:16at Talladega
00:26:17what do you think
00:26:17well my level of concern
00:26:19for him to make the chase
00:26:19is low
00:26:20he's going to make the chase
00:26:21he's only four points
00:26:22out right now
00:26:22my concern for him
00:26:24to be able to race
00:26:24for a championship
00:26:25which is what all these
00:26:26guys want to do
00:26:27is high
00:26:27based on what I've seen
00:26:28so far
00:26:28they've only scored
00:26:2932 stage points
00:26:30and when I look at this
00:26:31he's 53 points
00:26:33behind Kyle Larson
00:26:33who's in sixth
00:26:34all these teams
00:26:35have said they need to be
00:26:36fifth or sixth
00:26:36if they want to compete
00:26:38for the championship
00:26:39why are you laughing at
00:26:39that's where he said
00:26:40yeah well yeah
00:26:41you're outside
00:26:41we agree on some things
00:26:42that's right
00:26:43that's probably
00:26:44where you're going
00:26:44to have to be
00:26:45so my concern is high
00:26:46for him to compete
00:26:47for a championship
00:26:47yeah but just
00:26:47getting in
00:26:48at least you got a shot
00:26:50that's why they have
00:26:5016 slots
00:26:51you got no shot
00:26:52if you're not in the top six
00:26:53you got no chance
00:26:54you always talk about sponsors
00:26:56doesn't that help you
00:26:56with sponsors
00:26:57if you at least make the chase
00:26:58yeah
00:26:58I mean you want
00:26:59you want to make the chase
00:27:00and you want to be a part of it
00:27:01but you have no chance
00:27:02to win the championship
00:27:03if you're not in the top six
00:27:04okay you got Christopher Bell
00:27:05you're concerned
00:27:06low medium high
00:27:07well here's my concern
00:27:08about Bell
00:27:09I think their cars are fast
00:27:10I think Christopher Bell
00:27:11is a great driver
00:27:11but the inconsistency
00:27:13of the scenarios
00:27:14and things that he has going on
00:27:16is what concerns me
00:27:18because in this system
00:27:19you have to be consistent
00:27:20you have to take your bad days
00:27:22and make them good
00:27:22you have to take your good days
00:27:23and make them great
00:27:24and when you have
00:27:25those moments
00:27:26and you just can't have it
00:27:28become a disaster
00:27:29so we've seen that happen
00:27:30a few times
00:27:30I think they have the capability
00:27:32to go out and dominate
00:27:33at points
00:27:34but it's what happens
00:27:35in between for the 20
00:27:36all right
00:27:36and so yours
00:27:37we're going to go
00:27:38with William Byron
00:27:39surprised he hasn't won
00:27:40or at least run better
00:27:41this year
00:27:41I'm surprised a little bit
00:27:43in William Byron
00:27:44am I really concerned
00:27:45no
00:27:45I still think we can make
00:27:47that magical top six
00:27:48and compete for a championship
00:27:49but his teammate
00:27:50is obviously
00:27:51the one that's probably
00:27:53the closest to the Toyotas
00:27:54that being said
00:27:55Chris
00:27:55unloading off the truck
00:27:57this weekend
00:27:57already a lot better
00:27:58both of I
00:27:59Kevin and I
00:28:00both raised some eyebrows
00:28:01of the 24 car
00:28:02said he's a little bit
00:28:03better this week
00:28:06it's a medium
00:28:09I'm not really worried
00:28:10about it
00:28:10but I'm not overly concerned
00:28:11so what I'm trying
00:28:13to say is
00:28:13a lot better off the truck
00:28:15and there's rhyme and reason
00:28:16we had a test
00:28:16this new body
00:28:17with the Chevrolet
00:28:18they had a test
00:28:19in Chicago
00:28:19found some good results
00:28:21up there
00:28:21look for the 24 car
00:28:22to start gaining
00:28:23some momentum
00:28:24all right
00:28:24we're always concerned
00:28:26about where Regan Smith
00:28:27is and what he's doing
00:28:28and who he's talking to
00:28:29Regan where are you
00:28:31Chris I'm always concerned
00:28:32about where I am too
00:28:33because I'm usually
00:28:34not in the right spot
00:28:34but today I am in the right spot
00:28:36and I found the guy
00:28:37that you guys were just
00:28:37talking about
00:28:38William Byron
00:28:38of course just getting
00:28:39out of the driver's meeting
00:28:40talking about the weekend
00:28:41so far
00:28:42that 24 car
00:28:43unloaded off the truck
00:28:44extremely fast
00:28:45had the fastest car
00:28:47in practice
00:28:47are we making gains
00:28:48on where we need to be
00:28:49on the mile and a half
00:28:50right now
00:28:51yeah I think so
00:28:52I mean obviously
00:28:53I see what they're
00:28:54talking about there
00:28:55we obviously know
00:28:56where we need to be
00:28:56and you know
00:28:58know that we have work
00:28:59to do
00:28:59so this month
00:29:00has just been tough
00:29:01for us in some respects
00:29:02so yeah
00:29:03just trying to get
00:29:04back on track
00:29:04we put a lot of effort
00:29:05into Texas here
00:29:06this weekend
00:29:07with Talladega last week
00:29:09you can kind of
00:29:09plan ahead
00:29:10for this weekend
00:29:11so yeah
00:29:13there was a lot of
00:29:13effort back at the race shop
00:29:15from all of our guys
00:29:16on the 24 team
00:29:17and then everyone back
00:29:18in the war rooms
00:29:19and everything
00:29:20so just looking forward
00:29:21to a good day
00:29:22you know
00:29:23feel like practice
00:29:24went really well
00:29:25our second run
00:29:26was really good
00:29:27I thought our balance
00:29:28was respectable
00:29:29and was where
00:29:32I needed it to be
00:29:32so
00:29:33hate that we're
00:29:34starting where we are
00:29:35because I feel like
00:29:36you know
00:29:36our pit stall
00:29:37is not maybe as good
00:29:38as we want it to be
00:29:39but just going to be
00:29:40a workman type day
00:29:42try to be good
00:29:43in traffic
00:29:43try to be good

00:31:17mile we're on
00:31:17right now

00:31:20bit more

00:31:22spot

00:31:29good start yesterday
00:31:31feel really good
00:31:31about it
00:31:32and I think
00:31:33beautiful weather
00:31:34it's going to be
00:31:34a fun day
00:31:34that's a pretty
00:31:35cool story right
00:31:36there that you
00:31:37just slid in there
00:31:37that even I didn't
00:31:38know
00:31:38you raced right
00:31:39here on this
00:31:40quarter mile
00:31:41right here
00:31:41growing up
00:31:42to be able
00:31:43to dream big
00:31:43enough and come
00:31:44in a big way
00:31:45showing up
00:31:46in the Cup Series
00:31:46is pretty darn
00:31:47cool
00:31:47your story
00:31:49Chris
00:31:49you're ultra
00:31:50consistent
00:31:51on the racetrack
00:31:52I want to know
00:31:52where that comes
00:31:53from
00:31:53right
00:31:54you're getting
00:31:54the most
00:31:54out of each
00:31:55and every weekend
00:31:56in my opinion
00:31:56you're the best
00:31:57Ford driver
00:31:57consistently
00:31:58across the board
00:31:59right now
00:32:00that we have
00:32:00with the blue ovals
00:32:01is that just
00:32:02natural for you
00:32:03or is that
00:32:04a thought process
00:32:05that really goes
00:32:06in a lot deeper
00:32:06with you
00:32:07and the mentality
00:32:08of the 17 team
00:32:09you know
00:32:10it was kind of
00:32:10ingrained in me
00:32:11early on in my career
00:32:12we worked on
00:32:13my own race cars
00:32:14a lot
00:32:14and I learned
00:32:15real quick
00:32:15I didn't like
00:32:16fixing them
00:32:16so with that
00:32:18it kind of brought
00:32:19in a little bit
00:32:20of restraint
00:32:20at times
00:32:21not going to lie
00:32:22I've been black flagged
00:32:23for hitting people
00:32:24on this quarter mile
00:32:25right here too
00:32:25so it can go both ways
00:32:27but I think there's
00:32:29something to be said
00:32:29about making sure
00:32:31that we get the most
00:32:31out of everything
00:32:32we can each and every week
00:32:33and not going to lie
00:32:34that that fit in quite well
00:32:36at Roush Fenway
00:32:37Kozlowski Racing
00:32:38as Jamie will tell you
00:32:40we've had some conversations
00:32:42and have been told
00:32:43to be smart about it
00:32:45and Jack's made that clear
00:32:46at times
00:32:46but I think
00:32:47it's important
00:32:48when you have that opportunity
00:32:49to really go after it
00:32:51and it's a balancing act
00:32:53for sure
00:32:54I think for me
00:32:55you've been around
00:32:56this deal for a long time
00:32:57longer than most people realize
00:32:59and been
00:33:00you know
00:33:00through the JTG cars
00:33:01been through the Roush cars
00:33:03and always get the most
00:33:05out of your vehicle
00:33:05and then you watch last week
00:33:07and you cover it up
00:33:09kinda
00:33:10after the race
00:33:11but
00:33:11there has to be
00:33:12a little bit of frustration
00:33:13after last week
00:33:14and those moments
00:33:15that
00:33:16kind of slip away
00:33:17because I feel like
00:33:18if
00:33:19if the
00:33:19you know
00:33:20if you had a situation
00:33:21to where the cars
00:33:22were where they needed
00:33:22to be every week
00:33:23you could win races
00:33:24consistently
00:33:25and so those moments
00:33:27that slip away like that
00:33:28are you like
00:33:29you cover it up well
00:33:31I
00:33:31I told a lot of people
00:33:33this week
00:33:33because I
00:33:34it's always frustrating
00:33:35to finish second
00:33:35and I told a lot of people
00:33:37I said man
00:33:37I wish it had been third
00:33:38you know
00:33:39to be that close
00:33:40it just makes you more mad
00:33:41and
00:33:42to be right there
00:33:43in the hunt
00:33:43now
00:33:44granted
00:33:45I will say
00:33:45when we go super speedway racing
00:33:47to even be in the hunt
00:33:48and be there at the end
00:33:49like
00:33:49glad to be able to be
00:33:50in that scenario
00:33:52and
00:33:52and understand that
00:33:53those things can get
00:33:54a little wild at the end
00:33:54no matter what you do
00:33:55right or wrong
00:33:56on the day
00:33:57so
00:33:59I'm a little bit more
00:34:00understanding in those
00:34:00the ones that heard
00:34:01are the
00:34:02the Michigans of last year
00:34:03where
00:34:04I can sit there
00:34:04and point to a
00:34:05single moment in the race
00:34:06that if I'd have
00:34:07done better
00:34:08we could have won a race
00:34:09right
00:34:09those are the ones
00:34:10that make you more upset
00:34:12but
00:34:12but yeah
00:34:13I mean
00:34:13we are in a great place
00:34:14right
00:34:14we are close
00:34:15and to be that
00:34:16that near the front
00:34:17and
00:34:17and have a shot at it
00:34:19we were
00:34:20we were in enemy territory
00:34:22with
00:34:22with that blue oval
00:34:23last week though
00:34:24so that was
00:34:24there's always gonna be
00:34:25a tough one
00:34:26but
00:34:26teams doing a great job too
00:34:27you know
00:34:28we're
00:34:28we're showing up to each
00:34:29and every racetrack
00:34:30with good speed
00:34:30and
00:34:31that's
00:34:31you know
00:34:32relayed right into
00:34:33Texas Motor Speedway here
00:34:34so you mentioned
00:34:35Jack Roush
00:34:35the R
00:34:36and RFK
00:34:36the K
00:34:37is Brad
00:34:37or Brad Keselowski
00:34:39Brad has a different
00:34:40perspective
00:34:41on a lot of things
00:34:42in life
00:34:42what's it like
00:34:43driving for him
00:34:44being not only an owner
00:34:45but also a competitor
00:34:46yeah
00:34:47it's
00:34:48you know
00:34:49it's always tricky
00:34:49racing teammates
00:34:51when
00:34:51when you're ultimately
00:34:52just competitors
00:34:53right
00:34:53yes you're on the same team
00:34:54you're under the same roof
00:34:56during the week
00:34:56but
00:34:57but you're still competitors
00:34:58and you're still fighting
00:34:59it's a little different
00:35:00in the sense that
00:35:01that Brad is
00:35:02is that
00:35:02but he's also
00:35:03it's also an owner
00:35:04right
00:35:05and he also has the best interest
00:35:06of our entire organization
00:35:07in mind
00:35:07and wants us all
00:35:08to do well
00:35:09and so
00:35:10it certainly does help
00:35:12but it does make it
00:35:13a little bit harder
00:35:13to push and shove
00:35:14them a little bit
00:35:14so
00:35:15you know
00:35:15it's
00:35:16his name is
00:35:17on my uniform
00:35:18on my race car
00:35:19on my paycheck
00:35:19paycheck
00:35:20whatever it comes down to
00:35:21so there is a balancing act
00:35:23but
00:35:23it is
00:35:24it's fun to be
00:35:25around Brad
00:35:25to see his insight
00:35:27that he's brought
00:35:28to
00:35:28to our organization
00:35:30and
00:35:30and what
00:35:31he believes

00:37:17of this season
00:37:18and joining us now
00:37:20you're in the top 10
00:37:21in points
00:37:21it's been a kind of
00:37:22an interesting season
00:37:23for you
00:37:23how would you assess
00:37:24your season so far
00:37:26well interesting
00:37:27is a good way to put it
00:37:28but really
00:37:28I don't know
00:37:29unfortunate might be
00:37:30a better word
00:37:30we've been performing
00:37:32really well
00:37:32and we just haven't been
00:37:33able to get the finishes
00:37:34that we feel like
00:37:35we have had coming to us
00:37:37you know the last two weeks
00:37:38between Talladega
00:37:39and Kansas
00:37:40were so tough
00:37:41being inside the top 10
00:37:42both of those
00:37:42obviously Kansas was
00:37:44we're looking for a lot more
00:37:45there at Kansas
00:37:45but yeah we've been
00:37:47performing well
00:37:47our car speed's been great
00:37:49so hopefully it turns around
00:37:50at some point
00:37:51yeah I want to go back
00:37:51for Talladega
00:37:52you said something
00:37:53and I love it when a guy
00:37:53is candid
00:37:54and you were quoted
00:37:55so this is no surprise
00:37:56super speedway
00:37:57it's a lottery
00:37:58it's atrocious
00:37:59so how would you
00:38:01make changes in that
00:38:02that you think would be good
00:38:03not only for drivers
00:38:04but for fans watching
00:38:05yeah I mean
00:38:06we just want to see
00:38:06the best drivers
00:38:07the best cars get up front
00:38:08and at Talladega
00:38:09whether it's fuel saving
00:38:11or not fuel saving
00:38:12so whenever you're fuel saving
00:38:13you're running around
00:38:14half throttle
00:38:14you don't want to be
00:38:15leading the race right
00:38:16because it's all about
00:38:16shorting up the pit stop
00:38:17but then after you're done
00:38:19fuel saving
00:38:19you're still gridlocked
00:38:20so we still aren't able
00:38:21to push
00:38:22we aren't able to go forward
00:38:23last week at Talladega
00:38:24that third lane
00:38:25never materialized
00:38:26whenever we were
00:38:27not fuel saving
00:38:28so yeah
00:38:29I'm all for just
00:38:30bringing change
00:38:30not doing the same thing
00:38:32bringing the same thing
00:38:33back to the racetrack
00:38:33so yeah
00:38:35I hope that we come up
00:38:36with something different
00:38:36for Daytona Talladega
00:38:37to allow us to race more
00:38:39and get the best cars
00:38:40the best drivers
00:38:41to the front
00:38:41well any good golfer
00:38:43erases that last shot
00:38:45take me back to Kansas
00:38:46though
00:38:46I know you were
00:38:47ultra frustrated there
00:38:48I was
00:38:49you were so close
00:38:50coming off a turn four
00:38:51for the win right
00:38:51going for the win
00:38:52to end up in the infield
00:38:54and unfortunately
00:38:55a dismal performance
00:38:56on the record book
00:38:58but this weekend
00:38:59the Toyotas have been
00:39:00ultra strong
00:39:01on these mile and a half
00:39:02anywhere for that point
00:39:04but you in particular
00:39:05into the 20 car
00:39:06chomping at the bit
00:39:07right here
00:39:07pretty close to home
00:39:08yeah it is
00:39:09this Texas is always
00:39:10a really special race
00:39:11for me
00:39:11we have a ton of family
00:39:12here this week
00:39:12so it's kind of
00:39:14this one's been tough
00:39:15for you though
00:39:15it has
00:39:16so Texas used to be
00:39:17my best track
00:39:18on the schedule
00:39:19with the old car
00:39:20I think out of the
00:39:21two or three races
00:39:22that I had here
00:39:23in the old car
00:39:23we were always up
00:39:24in the mix
00:39:25in the top ten
00:39:25top five
00:39:26and then the next gen
00:39:27car came around
00:39:27and it has been
00:39:28our Achilles heels
00:39:29so yeah
00:39:30I've had a couple
00:39:31good runs here
00:39:32a couple DNFs
00:39:33because of that bump
00:39:33over there in three
00:39:34and four
00:39:34but it's becoming
00:39:36a really fun racetrack
00:39:37like we saw yesterday
00:39:38in the O'Reilly race
00:39:39that it got really
00:39:40really wide
00:39:40so I think the wider
00:39:42it gets
00:39:42the better off
00:39:43it's going to be
00:39:43for me
00:39:43what do you think
00:39:44the strengths
00:39:45of your cars
00:39:46are right now
00:39:47compared to
00:39:47the other two makes
00:39:49because we hear
00:39:49the Fords talk
00:39:50about their issues
00:39:51the Chevys seem
00:39:53to be unbalanced
00:39:54is it overall speed
00:39:55is it long run speed
00:39:56what do you think
00:39:57the strength
00:39:57today will be
00:39:58for the Toyotas
00:40:00and your car
00:40:01in general
00:40:01yeah well
00:40:02I mean today
00:40:03I think it's going
00:40:03to be long run speed
00:40:04it seems like
00:40:05our cars
00:40:06have a lot of grip
00:40:07in them
00:40:08we've had the same
00:40:08body now
00:40:09for a couple of years
00:40:10so we've had
00:40:10the same rules package
00:40:11we're able to
00:40:12really hone in
00:40:13on what our balance
00:40:13needs to be good
00:40:15on the long run
00:40:16so I think
00:40:17the hotter it gets
00:40:19the slicker it gets
00:40:19the more that
00:40:20we're going to shine
00:40:21so yeah
00:40:22let this thing go green
00:40:23let it play out
00:40:24get into green flag
00:40:26pit stop
00:40:26stuff like that
00:40:27so if it comes to that
00:40:28I think the Toyotas
00:40:29are going to be really good
00:40:30if it comes to short runs
00:40:31and green flag
00:40:31or restarts
00:40:32and stuff like that
00:40:33I don't know
00:40:34that we're going to have
00:40:35the upper hand
00:40:35but whenever it comes
00:40:36to grip making
00:40:37it seems like the Toyota
00:40:38has got a lot of grip
00:40:39when I talked to you
00:40:39earlier this year
00:40:40you told me to compete
00:40:41for the championship
00:40:41you need to be in the top five
00:40:42when the chase started
00:40:43you're 32 points out
00:40:45right now
00:40:45where do you think
00:40:46you stack up
00:40:46ah man
00:40:47it's actually rewarding
00:40:48to hear that
00:40:50and you know
00:40:51I hope I did the math right
00:40:52yeah
00:40:53I mean our finishes
00:40:54have been abysmal
00:40:56they've been terrible
00:40:56but I keep looking
00:40:57at the point standings
00:40:58and you know
00:40:59Tyler is long gone
00:41:01for the regular season
00:41:01championship
00:41:02and I don't know
00:41:03that anybody's going
00:41:03to be able to check
00:41:04or catch him
00:41:05without a bunch of
00:41:06you know issues
00:41:06on his part
00:41:07but as far as
00:41:08the main championship
00:41:09at the end of the year
00:41:10I think we're still
00:41:11right in the mix
00:41:12so certainly
00:41:12we need to get up
00:41:13in this regular season
00:41:14standings
00:41:14and get to where
00:41:15you know
00:41:16we're competing
00:41:16for that top five
00:41:17regular season standings
00:41:18before we go into the chase
00:41:19but I like where we're at
00:41:21I don't like where we're at
00:41:22but I like that
00:41:23we still have the opportunity
00:41:24to get in the mix
00:41:25and we just got to
00:41:26string some good finishes
00:41:27together

00:42:29with Regan Smith
00:42:30Regan
00:42:30well Chris
00:42:31it's quite the scene
00:42:31back here
00:42:32behind the driver's intro stage
00:42:33getting very busy
00:42:34the infield is absolutely
00:42:35packed
00:42:35Chase Elliott
00:42:36you know something
00:42:37about winning here at Texas
00:42:38of course a couple years ago
00:42:39got that first cup win here
00:42:40you had Xfinity wins
00:42:42a little bit of everything
00:42:42what do you expect today?
00:42:44I hope another win

00:42:46is all we came out here
00:42:46for at least
00:42:47so yeah
00:42:48I hope it goes our way
00:42:49I thought
00:42:49you know
00:42:50our prime Chevy had
00:42:51I personally thought
00:42:52it had a lot of potential
00:42:53in it yesterday
00:42:54I think I probably
00:42:56underserved
00:42:57its opportunity there
00:42:58in qualifying
00:42:59but I thought that
00:43:01you know
00:43:01there was a lot of opportunity
00:43:02and kind of how it drove
00:43:03throughout race practice
00:43:04to get better
00:43:06and I felt confident
00:43:08in the things
00:43:09that we were talking
00:43:09about overnight
00:43:10so you know
00:43:11those things are all
00:43:12educated guesses man
00:43:13so you're hoping
00:43:14for the best
00:43:14and hopefully
00:43:15we can guess all right
00:43:16today
00:43:16and execute a good afternoon
00:43:18I feel like every day
00:43:19with me on TV
00:43:20is an educated guess
00:43:21so that's good
00:43:22we like to see that
00:43:23Josh who you got
00:43:24well I'm over here

00:43:49but yeah super
00:43:51super interesting to see
00:43:52where we feel
00:43:52where the cars fall today
00:43:54where the Freightliner
00:43:54Ford Mustang
00:43:55had a reasonable session
00:43:56yesterday
00:43:56but like I said
00:43:57a lot on the line today
00:43:59for a race win
00:43:59a little extra motivation
00:44:01for this team
00:44:01huh Jamie?
00:44:02yeah no doubt

00:44:17none of the cars
00:44:18translate to a cup car
00:44:19but yeah
00:44:20I mean winning is great
00:44:21it makes you feel good
00:44:21and usually you can
00:44:22carry that into this
00:44:23so this is definitely
00:44:25the toughest race
00:44:26of the weekend
00:44:27though
00:44:27so we'll see

00:46:48one moment
00:46:49on the racetrack

00:47:00stands
00:47:00and I never
00:47:01yelled or screamed
00:47:02because I never
00:47:03thought he could
00:47:04see me
00:47:05and I felt like
00:47:06it's crazy to me
00:47:08when a little kid
00:47:09gets super excited
00:47:10in the garage
00:47:12you know

00:47:26through the years
00:47:27the hardest part
00:47:27to navigate
00:47:28is all the
00:47:29controversy
00:47:30and you've got
