“This is just an odd first win. I’ve thrown plenty away. I’ve always said I’ll be good rather than have luck and everyone’s always opposite, but tonight I’ll take the luck with it ending early. It’s odd, probably not getting all the emotion, all the excitement. Just really happy for my guys. They deserve this more than anyone. They work really hard in the shop and different schedules and it’s just a totally different world right now. I miss the fans, I miss the normal schedules, I miss practice. I put so much pressure on myself and it’s hard to enjoy the ride when you feel like you should be doing better than you have. Definitely going to enjoy it tonight.”
TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
