00:02 - We got some cool stuff in here.
00:07 Take me through some of your favorite stuff here real quick.
00:09 - You know, I've collected, one of the little things I did
00:12 is every time we won a race, I'd grab some lug nuts.
00:14 You know, it used to be, they used to be all over pit wall.
00:16 You'd all break them back during a pit stop.
00:18 - I wish I did that.
00:19 - Tommy was gracious enough to let me keep my last pit gun.
00:23 We jokingly called it like the Frankenstein pit gun.
00:26 But that thing's all steel,
00:27 so it felt like it weighed, you know, 10, 20 pounds.
00:29 I mean, it was, it felt like a heavy gun.
00:31 - Yeah.
00:32 Did you mention any lug nuts on your last stop?
00:33 - You know, I didn't.
00:34 - None, 20 lug nuts stopped.
00:36 - Well, no, it was, it was a, that picture is the last stop.
00:39 It was a two tire stop.
00:41 - That's an iconic hat.
00:42 That's one that you think of, like that's,
00:44 - The,
00:45 - Is it signed by Jeff?
00:46 - Yeah, it's silver.
00:48 - It's so crazy just looking at just the technology
00:52 of everything and even fire suits.
00:54 This lighter and they flex more,
00:57 the gussets they put in them for us to be able to move.
00:59 - Oh yeah, yeah.
01:00 That's the whole science in itself,
01:02 getting fitted for a uniform and all the stuff you do
01:05 and change and look at to make it feel good.
01:08 - What do you got here?
01:09 - Well, this probably, this was what somebody
01:13 on the team kind of designed, I think,
01:16 for the Winston-Williams.
01:18 - That's cool.
01:19 It's got all the races in there.
01:22 - Yeah.
01:23 - Let's go, let's go talk about it.
