00:00Hey, what's up, what's up buddy?
00:20Hey guys, how you doing?
00:30Are you nervous?
00:32I'm actually not.
00:34I was actually just excited to see what it...
00:38kind of the feel of it all and stuff. It's been a while.
00:41How's it going?
00:42Good to see you.
00:43Yeah, you too.
00:44Yeah.
00:45That's a lot of cars.
00:47Yeah.
00:48Man.
00:49Is this like all the teams or is it...
00:52For the most part, I mean...
00:53Yeah.
00:54Okay.
00:55Yeah, it's probably the whole garage, but you have like...
00:59A lot of guys are sharing a car in Austin.
01:01So it's kind of like...
01:02I'm kind of nervous.
01:04Yeah.
01:05I'll be all right.
01:06Okay.
01:07Yeah.
01:08Yeah.
01:09Yeah.
01:10Yeah.
01:11Yeah.
01:13Yeah.
01:16Yeah.
01:19Yeah.
01:22Yeah.
01:25Yeah.
01:28Yeah.
01:32Yeah.
01:41If you were ever to come down and feel like you wanted the car to do something better right now.
01:45What would it be?
01:47I'd say probably a little more secure on entry.
01:50Just a little more secure on entry.
01:52I think I would...
01:54I can hit...
01:55My angles would be a little better.
01:56And I could make more speed center off.
01:58Okay.
01:59But with it being a little free over there, but...
02:00but I'd be more concerned about the entry so I can have more options.
02:04Okay.
02:05Alright.
02:06So, what is it about this track that kind of brought you back in particular?
02:11So, I like the first time I went around here.
02:14The first time I ever tested a stock car, it was here.
02:18I'd won a sprint car race in Volusia.
02:20The night before was a Sunday night race in Volusia County.
02:23Drove through the night up here, slept in the parking lot,
02:26got in a bush car that morning and did a test here.
02:29And that was the first time I was in a stock car.
02:33Years ago, from that point on, I've just always really enjoyed this place.
02:37When you put basically your whole life into this racing and NASCAR for that many years,
02:43leading up to it, and then, you know, 16 years in the sport,
02:47yeah, to take a little bit of time off and come back, it still feels pretty familiar.
02:52Thank you guys very much.
