00:00And I think that's the most exciting we've ever seen, Sam Mayer.
00:04Man, you survived an overtime restart, and you did it in the lead.
00:09Before that, though, you were able to overtake Riley Hurks.
00:12Walk me through the move you made on him.
00:14Yeah, you know, like, we struggled yesterday, and this road team went to work, and obviously
00:22we did pretty good overnight, making good decisions on this race car, and everyone at
00:27the HMS Engine Shop, JRM, RIDGID, Roto-Rooter, everyone on board this car this weekend, man,
00:34I'm out of breath, because I was just huffing in a bunch of smoke, but I feel really good.
00:40I could do another 100 laps for sure, and with a race car like this, it would be a lot
00:43of fun.
00:44With so many tire failures today, including your teammate Justin Allgaier, was there any
00:48concern throughout the race that maybe you wouldn't make it to the end?
00:51Yeah, we definitely got a little bit tight there at the end of the second stage, so I
00:55was a little concerned there, but Marty said the tires looked all good, so we took care
00:59of it, and we did our job, and now we get to celebrate.
01:02Congratulations.
01:03Thank you, thank you.
01:04That is Sam Mayer with his second win on the 2024 season.
