00:00Well, I think this is, I was saying this earlier, for me, there's a lot of layers to this.
00:09Obviously, Junior Motorsports and myself and Kelly entering a cup car in any race is a
00:15big deal for us.
00:17But this is also a bit of a continuation, at least for me personally, of celebrating
00:22Justin's championship, achieving a goal that, like you said, we've been after for a long
00:28time and we've came so close and we've had some really, really tough, heartbreaking moments.
00:33But it's really strengthened our bond and partnership.
00:38And so when, you know, when we were starting to talk about doing this, I think me and Kelly
00:43both knew that we had to consider Justin as the driver.
00:48And as all of that played out toward the end of last year, it was a no-brainer that that
00:52was what we needed to do.
00:55I want to let Kelly speak to this, too, because she's probably more aware of this than I am.
01:02With Traveller, we want them to have a great experience.
01:05And we know what Justin's capable of doing outside of the car as well as inside the car.
01:10And so we know that as a driver and through marketing engagement, that Justin will make
01:17sure this is a great experience for Traveller and Chris and his team.
