I, first off, I think there's a million ways we could go here. The Xfinity race happens, and I took Amy with me. She wasn't going to go. She was just going to get a commercial ticket and come to the banquet if we happen to win the championship. And I brought it with me. And I was like, come on, man, it'd be fun. We win the championship. We stay out there a couple of days. We'll have some great dinners. We'll check out Phoenix. We don't ever, you know, we're going to go hiking, dude. We pack some freaking hiking shoes. So this was. I was. She was there. Race is over. She's. She was standing there like, holy. You know, I can't believe we're watching the last several laps unravel in front of us. And she's like, dang. And I'm like, yeah, this is it. I mean, race ends. And I said, honey, we're going to. I'm a walk. Amy's. Amy's feet are. Are blistered at this point because I made her. We. We start the race. The race is getting ready to start. And I said, honey, I'm gonna go sit on the eight box. Let's Go sit over there. So we walked the entire length of pit road. She's like, dude. I was like, I know, I'm sorry. Just too far. But I was like, Sammy was back.

On the back stretch or something.
B (2:45)
Yeah. So she's got blisters all over her feet by the time the race is over with. And I was like, hey, we're gonna walk down pit road, and we just got to go to each driver, you know, talk to them kind of, you know, do your thing. Yeah, yeah, we can't leave, which. We can't just go to the. To the plane and leave. We gotta. We got a couple things got to do to finish up. No problem. Go do that. And then kind of getting ready to get out of there and got interviewed on pit road. And, you know, the. The. The feeling that I had after that race and this is. It was heartbreaking. You know, Connor was crying, Justin was. Justin seemed like he was emotionally upset as well, which I was a bit surprised. I walk up to Justin and I said, man, ain't you glad you. Ain't you glad we won the championship last year? I mean, you're thinking, my. My reaction in. In moments like that is to try to find some silver lining, try to find some positives, right? Try to think about. I can't. I don't want to cry. I don't want to drown in my sorrows. I want that to go away. The feeling that I had of being heartbroken hung on, and it's still bothering me today, and I want it to go away. So I'm thinking about, like, all right, well, I want. What can make me feel better? Well, going back. Going to the shop. Being at the shop on Monday. Go to the shop on Monday, start preparing for the next season. That'll make me feel better. And so when the race ends, you go up and you. You tell these guys, like, hey, you know, I told Justin, I said, aren't you. Aren't you glad you won it last year? We're not sitting here, Miss. You know, we're not sitting here crying over the fact that we've not won one ever. We're just crying because we lost one that we might have. We had a shot at, but we still got that trophy at home. You're still a champion. And you go over to Connor and you go, man. And I always. I'm sorry, I'm rambling, but I always go, listen, I had the worst day that you could imagine at a racetrack losing my dad. And I hate to you. I hate to. Hate to bring that up as, as, as. As an example. But I tell people, no matter what happens at the racetrack and for Conor to. That what he experienced that Saturday night is not going to be the worst day he's had at a racetrack. There will be other. I've experienced some bad days and there'll be other things that happen in his career. There'll be successes and failures and this, this stings and this hurts and this feels like the worst day that you've had at a racetrack, but it won't be. And, you know, you'll be. You'll be able to, at some point, kind of come to terms with it. You won't love it. You won't never be bothered. You won't never not be bothered by it. There's races that I still pop up in my mind today where I go, and I'll spend 15 minutes daydreaming about what I should have done to fix it or do a better job and to have won. So, I mean, he's going to do that. He's going to, you know, this might pop up in his mind ten years down the road and he'll freaking have a moment and get all upset about it and wonder what he could have done or should have done or whatever. But it ain't as bad as it felt. It's not the worst day. And. And he'll, you know, we go. We get to race next year together. It. It's a. There's also, you know, you. I think about it like that. I know. I don't know if that's right or wrong, and maybe that's extreme, but I just try to, you know, I just try to think, I say it to myself, you know, hey, this ain't the worst thing that's ever happened at the racetrack. And it's. And it won't be. And for him, like he's going to have. He's got this whole career in front of him of, you know, disappointment, success moments, just moments, everything. Yes. I mean, this is. This is gonna. This will fall into a shuffled deck of cards full of good and bad moments if he has this long career. I've been sitting here for the last couple of days thinking about this show and thinking about, like, this is where I'm going to sit down and have these. I've not had any conversations with anybody about this. And so, you know, my mind's going a million mile an hour. And I had. I've got all this stuff kind of pent up, but, man, it was heartbreaking with all of that said something Listen, something. I pause to. I pause to say anything that's damaging to the legitimacy of the championship or taking. Doing anything that might take away or. I wouldn't want to say. I wouldn't want to say anything on this show that would rub Jesse Love the wrong way. RCR the wrong way. Danny Lawrence the wrong way. All these people that are part of that program, there's people that are at rcr, they're like family to me, that when we see each other, we tell each other we love each other. You know, there's people over there that I really have very close relationships with that even though we. We. We. We grind each other's gears during the season, boy, I want to beat them. They want to beat us. And. And even though we're Chevrolet and we share information, we do. We share information through Chevrolet, we still are very competitive with each other. As frustrating it is as it is to. To lose having three teams against one, they won, and the race played out naturally. And the two was fast from the moment they unloaded. And they. They had a. You know, the car was a little bit off on the first stage, but they dialed it in, and they had amazing pit stops. Ridiculous. Yeah. I mean, they were doing four lugs, maybe three on the lefts. But, hey, as long as they got all the lugs on the car at the end of the race, I mean, it's. It's. They call it fair. They took advantage of every single corner and. And. And. And anywhere they could cut and gain an advantage, they did. And, hey, I can't take anything away from them. It wasn't a fluke. They ran great all night. They. They passed us.
