kind of week here in Knoxville Iowa Owen getting a win down at English Creek in the Box stock Division and now climbing up to celebrate a Nationals win with Kyle Larson [Applause] near perfect week for us and our team so um again I mean little meant so much to my life not only my career but but my life and you know Knoxville I always compared cycling to a mini Knoxville so had years and years of experience racing there in The Outlaw carts and um you know low and Becky have done so much for me as well as everybody in this pit area I'm sure there's a lot of kids in the stands adults in the stands that have grown-up racing cycling so you'll lower meant so much to us can't wait to see Sally on uh on Tuesday Houston's but uh so excited you know to uh to win another you know Crown Jewel another knocks the Nationals feels amazing when you got guys like Rico and Donnie and gravel coming from Deep to you know breathing down your neck it's uh it's definitely nerve-wracking so felt like I ran about as good of a race as I could try to keep my eyes open for crumbs in the middle it started latching a little bit of rubber there with I don't know 15 17 to go and try to keep my eye on that because usually when this place takes forever it takes it quick and you move down the track but um it just was helping me get close off man tree I know gravel is probably coming there a little bit at the end so was praying for no cautions it all just worked out so huge thank you all you fans this is uh my favorite week of the year um I look forward to this event all year long that's all I think about all week so just uh you guys make it special special paint Scheme 2 for Paul Silva celebrating 20 years I'm glad we could get this black and uh blue 57 Victory Lane for him he's worked so hard it's um it's just amazing to see his hard work pay off you know from 20 years old on his Sprint car to uh all the success he's had throughout the years so I love him uh he's uh he's he's so he's just so awesome he's he's the greatest of what he does and I'm just very thankful be with him yeah I don't I don't think Paul changed much you know the track goes through a lot of a big transition there you're the first 25 I I felt like you would pounded the bottom for a while I caught traffic and the top was still kind of dirty the middle wasn't what wasn't wasn't quite there um I think I got ripping the top right for one of those cautions in the first half and then uh decided it was time to kind of move up there help clean that lane off and and help it get you know one lane dominant up there before Donnie found it before me so I felt like I moved up at the right time and the yo we got to stop and talk to them and they said the line was good so it was just going to keep plugging away at it and um like I said it started to latch a little bit rubber which helped me um but but also gets you nervous here at Knoxville so um just just amazing once again you know thank you to all of our our great Partners uh Finley Farms which Jason and Scott were here uh Phil durris is here Sam with jvi uh flow racing uh there's hindercars.com Works limited GSR uh it's just it's it's amazing um you know FK shocks Willie's here uh Tommy Ryder thank you for great engines uh Smith titanium he does a ton for our team so thank you to him and uh just just amazing I can't believe it you know I was I was shocked to win one now add my name to a show list the guys at one two is pretty pretty awesome well he's the Knox father so he knows that he knows how to get around here better than anybody so um having him you know start behind you I I knew he got to second right away in the beginning um then the caution came out and I seen Rico's number was up there but then he uh he unfortunately had the flat um but then on the restarts I feel like I got decent launches down the front stretch and then could peek at the board and until it had a decent Gap uh right away and saw Logan get to I think battling maybe and then gravel had a really good restart there at the end so um he he definitely had me nervous coming from 22nd or whatever he did so you can never count any of those guys out no matter where they start you know 50 long laps here is is a lot of time so just uh just glad that I was able to do my homework this week and uh execute a Flawless 50 laps there hopefully you got some time to celebrate tonight congratulations yeah thank you guys thanks again for making the week so awesome uh I can't wait for next year make sure you guys and uh I just love it so thanks again make
