Lots of congratulations and cheer down there in victory lane here tonight. Race fans, let's make some noise for your winner, Sheldon Hidenschild. Oh, I never count myself out. That's for sure. Man, hats off to Ripper, Adam Dawson, man. The 28 and the 21 there, they got to playing a couple games on the white flag. And I saw the 21 cut down real hard, and I knew he kind of probably lost a little bit of momentum. Then he slid across the track, and I was like, man, if I could get my right rear where I've been putting it, I think I will have a shot long as they don't close that gap too soon. But man, this is not a synergy drink. Logan contractors, Bobcat, Royal Flooring, Aspen Air, A Plus, all these guys, man, Hannafin, Maximal Oil, Hawkeye, man, Matt and Brett for trusting me and Ripper to come in and kind of 180 their team. And Ripper had a long off season putting this thing together, and man, it's paying off. Morrison Engines, man, Berryman on our shocks, just all these partners that make this thing go. It's just so fun to drive and just having a lot of fun right now. Yeah, I don't know. People just assume that, but I feel like I've won a lot of my races on the bottom. And like I said, all my Beaver Dam races, I feel like I rolled the bottom. This place is just a different beast on the bottom to run. And I felt like I was able to move around good. I squared one and two up. I ripped the cushion in one and two. I rolled the bottom and was patient. And even when I missed it in the middle of one and two, I felt like I could kind of just abort and still have backstretch speed. But that's just a testament to these guys, man. We took Sunday, Monday off. We had a little bit of a rough stretch here with Attica and BAPS. I had a couple of tore up cars upstairs. So we just took a couple nights off and regrouped, had a team dinner, and just relaxed as much as we could to prepare for this week. Yeah, this Grand Prix Guava car, man. Go get you some. Look at it. He comes in Aussie. That would be Matt Barber just jumping in. This is a heated interview right here. But no, dude, we have such a great group of guys up here. Dak, man, sticking with us and coming on board the 18 and trusting us too and thinking about Randy back home. And yeah, man, I just wish my mom and dad were here. My dad took my nephew, Roxon, to his first dirt bike race today. So that's pretty cool. But yeah, maybe we could get him out here for Saturday.
