00:00 >> Justin Allgaier, with what was nearly a perfect day, you lead 119 laps, your third
00:06 win at Darlington.
00:08 You've been close this year.
00:10 How nervous were you at the end of this race if something could go bad again?
00:13 >> I just wanted Eddie to call white flag.
00:16 God is so good.
00:17 Car is rolling back.
00:18 Hang on.
00:19 I thought with a flat tire it would stay where it was at.
00:23 God's ghost is so good.
00:25 We've had such a heck of a year.
00:27 We've led a ton of laps and we haven't been able to do it.
00:30 The guys walking down pit road, everybody back in the shop at junior motorsports.
00:35 Rick Brandt is here today because of the party.
00:39 I just can't say enough.
00:40 This is Darlington weekend.
00:41 You fans, this weekend is always my favorite.
00:45 All of our partners at junior motorsports, Chevrolet, Hendrick engine shop.
00:50 We got the old farm truck and it ran pretty good.
00:52 I think having a little gray hair today helped me out.
00:55 Those long green flag runs and being able to kind of know what's worked in the past
00:59 here.
01:00 Eddie did a fantastic job.
01:02 Pit crew was amazing.
01:03 All in all the day was good.

01:19 What's that mean to you?
01:20 >> It means a lot.
01:21 I didn't know if the day would come I would be able to match Dale junior.
01:23 Not only is he a great boss but a really good mentor and an unbelievable race car driver.
01:28 You fans know it.
01:29 Dale junior is an incredible human being.
