00:00How was your day here at Atlanta?
00:01Yeah, started off really good.
00:04First two stages had a scare.
00:08When we got it got caught up in that little wreck.
00:11With the 17 there, I can't believe they fixed it as well as they did.
00:14Honestly, I mean, I knew I got hit in the left side door really hard and
00:18I knew I hit the outside wall at the right rear corner really hard.
00:21So luckily it kind of and I can't believe it ended up kind of once I got hit and
00:26I hit the wall and I was all of a sudden straight.
00:27I don't know how that happened.
00:29But luckily, I didn't have any more damage.
00:32And like I said, they did a really good job fixing it.
00:34And then we were kind of able to just pick our way through.
00:38I could get to the middle pretty good and I can kind of get to the top and
00:41just kind of pick good spots to creep forward.
00:44And yeah, I had a shot to get behind Joey on the last restart and
00:49got kind of tandem and then I was able to get him a big push down the front,
00:52got him clear and then end up second or third.
00:56So overall, really, really good day.
00:57Move on to the Glen.
00:59You mentioned going on to the Glen, you earned a ton of points today.
01:02How do you feel about next week in the 12 going in attacking the road course?
01:05Yeah, like I said, proud of the effort today.
01:07I mean, I think everyone kind of was nervous about this race,
01:09just that super speedway atmosphere.
01:11And we did a great job of just kind of not really messing up all day.
01:16We executed on pit road really well.
01:18Really wasn't anything we could do with that wreck we got caught up in.
01:21Just yeah, they overcame adversity like with that wreck and
01:24that's what they did.
01:25So I'm proud of the effort by all those guys for that.
01:27That's the mindset they need to have.
01:29So yeah, I mean, I don't know what to expect at Walkers Glen.
01:32It's nice we had a good day today.
01:35I can't say the same for others, right?
01:36Other guys had trouble today and they're gonna need to have big days.
01:39So it's nice to come out of here, even though it's not a win,
01:42nice to come out of here with a good day.
01:43It's nice that we got a Penske car on to the next round already.
01:45Thanks Ryan.
01:46Thanks.
