00:00The winning crew chief here at Iowa, Jonathan Hassler and this number 12 crew, you guys
00:04are locked into the NASCAR cup series playoffs with this win.
00:07But we heard on the radio a bounce back from gateway and the devastating day that you guys
00:12had there.
00:13What does this do for this team?
00:14Yeah, it's awesome, you know, to get the win and to be locked into the playoffs, you know,
00:18certainly gives us some freedom to go out and kind of learn a little bit more than probably
00:22we could have otherwise.
00:24So yeah, put us in a great position to be in, you know, tip top shape for the start
00:29of the playoffs.
00:30So I'm certainly excited, proud of the whole effort from the whole team.
00:33We saw you guys last season, go after that championship and you really showed life at
00:37the right parts of this season.
00:39Is this team in championship caliber form to go back to back?
00:42Yeah, I think if you look over the last, you know, three weeks, obviously leading the gateway
00:46and things don't go, you know, like we, like we planned, but you know, look at Sonoma,
00:50I think things go a little bit differently.
00:52We're in contention to win that one as well and obviously ran strong tonight.
00:54So I definitely think we're, you know, at a pretty good point, but you know, we'll continue
00:59to work through the year and make sure we peak, like you said, at the right time.
01:02Congratulations.
01:03Go have some corn with your team.
01:04Thank you.
