Coming to homestead for the final race of the year.
Four drivers have a shot at championship.
We're one of them, and the atmosphere is tense.
This is a tremendous opportunity.
There's a little bit of pressure that comes with it
because we all know at the end of the day
if you can win here, you'll have a big trophy at the end of the day.
You would like to believe that it's just business as usual
It's not.
There's a whole different feel on that Sunday of championship day at Homestead
So
It's, uh, there's a lot of emotion going into it.
There's a lot of nerves that go into it.
It's been a long season.
Everybody's tired.
We've had some great success this weekend.
Uh, we won so far, the truck race and the Xfinity race.
(Announcer speaking)
(Chase Briscoe is going to win for the first time in his career)
For me, as the team owner and the team, I know we're committed.
The guys are going to go do their best this weekend.
And there's no question that, uh, it's been a great partnership with Ford.
Roush engines have been outstanding for us.
So
at the end of the day it's up to us now.
It's hard to describe championship weekend.
Um, I mean, this is where it all comes down to this.
This is the final Sunday.
It's take no prisoners, no holds barred to get it done.
One of the best racetracks you can come through for a finale.
You can't come out of here with 15 places finished and expect to win the championship.
It's winner take all.
hang in there, stay in touch with Tyler, but is there a problem on board?
Here's what they're saying.
You got a pretty big hole in the bottom of the right front fender
I think we can get it on all normal at pit stop, though.
Thank you for everything.
Great job.
Thank you.
Well, you know, I think when you really look at it from the inside out, and then you see all the work
that everybody went through, uh, the preparation that we went through to go through these playoffs
in this particular race, was second to none.
I mean, it was a championship effort, but, uh, just came up a little bit short.
Ran as hard as I could run and uh, managed to run it up against the wall and out hit it all day.
And Matt made me earn it at the end.
That was pretty cool.
This is a special race to be a part of, you know, with everything going on
With Dale Matt, and Danica and championship race.
So wish I could have brought on the win but I know in my heart, I put it all out there
and, uh, I feel good about that.
