Yeah, I know it was, um, you
know, anytime I'm on pit road and I'm always
thinking of the sheet and the statistics and the,
the, the pieces of information that we have of
what we try to gauge ourselves to the rest of
our competition with. I mean, there's probably five
or six different sectors of pit road of, of
things that you worry about to make sure that you're
the best at all of those. And, you
know, one of those is getting on to pit
road, how you roll your pit road, speed
with your lights, how you get into the box
, how you get out of the box, how
you exit pit road, get back up on the
racetrack and blend. And so all of those things
you want to be perfect every time. And so
, um, for me, I had come in
the previous two pit stops before that before the one
I slid through where I came in way too light
. And I'm like, ok, I'm, I'm
coming in way too light. I'm giving up if
it's a half a second. I don't even know
what it is, you know, and I'm,
so I'm like, ok, I'm gonna make sure
I hit it this time and I hit the sign
the way I need to hit the sign and everything
else. And so that's what happened on the next
one. I came in as hot as I thought
I needed to come in and when it locked the
rear tires, uh, with the brakes, it
just slid and it slid two inches too far.
So, um, one week you're too, too
short the next year, too, too long.
Um, kind of crazy but, um, all
in all just, yeah, frustrating day to,
uh, to have the, the disaster that we
did on pit road, um, of just being
really slow and then for me to slide through to
kind of add insult to injury, uh, on
my behalf, we otherwise would have been, um
, you know, a top 10 finisher. So
that, that was the day that we needed.
Um, and we certainly lost a lot of points --> .
