00:00Well, Ty Gibbs can leave Darlington a happy camper because he's racing for a championship.
00:04He's officially in the NASCAR cup series playoffs.
00:07What's the emotions tonight?
00:08Yeah.
00:09Right now I'm a little upset that we got wrecked at the end of the race, but, um, I liked your
00:13positivity and I think I need to, I'm slowly getting happier and happier, um, as the emotions
00:19are wearing off from, from getting wrecked, but I'm happy that we just made it in.
00:23Our goal today was just to come and make it in the race and or the playoffs and we did.
00:26And, um, we had a great car.
00:28I wish we could have finished better.
00:29We were in great contention to win, um, and just, you know, got taken out there, but we're
00:33so close and I had so much fun.
00:34I love that.
00:35I could love coming to Darlington.
00:36This is such a great track and I'm very thankful to be here in my position.
00:39I'm in.
00:40We'll start the playoffs at Atlanta and you're 12 above the elimination line, but you roll
00:43in 15.
00:44I know these next three weeks will be a challenge for all playoff drivers, but how do you gain
00:49some points and make it not so hard on yourself in the cutoff race?
00:52Yeah.
00:53Um, you know, Atlanta, you got it.
00:54Of course, it's just similar to a few ways, so you got to finish and, um, you know, I
00:58think we go to walk in Atlanta for that and I don't know what the race is after that.
01:01So, um, I feel like we're really great at walking one and the rest of the tracks in
01:05the schedule.
01:06So we're going to give it our best and see how far we can make it, but glad to make it
01:10in for sure.
