[00:00:01]Big story over the next two weekends.

[00:00:04]It's Ken Roxson versus Hunter Lawrence.

[00:00:07]>> Insane season for both of us, huh?

[00:00:09]>> Yeah. Not really.

[00:00:10]>> If we win the last two races, we win the championship. So, you know, like every other race, we're going to do the best we can tonight. But, um, I think the best that we can do is win.

[00:00:19]>> That's what I like. Nice. Nice.

[00:00:23]>> I've never felt more stress in my life.

[00:00:26]Yesterday I was, dude, I've had this neck problem since Nashville. Yeah.

[00:00:30]>> Where my muscles just spasm.

[00:00:32]>> Four points down on Ken Roxson. And so if he doesn't win tonight, he at least has to finish in front of the 94. Hunter Lawrence to the top 51.6.

[00:00:43]>> I think Saxon actually put the hot lap in, bumped us down one, but we like too gives us options. So setting up for the whoops and then tripling into the sand.

[00:00:52]It's you're dealing with two eggs right there. And we got to nail both of them.

[00:00:56]450 Drew Bankfire number two. A little track work. I think we're going to see the fastest times of the day. He's >> tripling into the sand. You see that?

[00:01:05]>> Yeah, he's keen on it. Thanks, Trey.

[00:01:07]>> Hunter Lawrence. Wow, look at that lean angle right there. The 96 is going for it right now. The 94 triples into the sand right there. This is going to be a good time, folks. He goes to the top 50.1.

[00:01:22]>> I didn't think the change was too bad.

[00:01:23]No, I was fighting through my corners.

[00:01:26]I'm like, >> I couldn't relax. I'm >> my corners. I was making more mistakes in the corners. So, >> okay, I reckon go back.

[00:01:34]>> But, like I said, he's trying to go three into the sand. So, he's wanting to be over there. I get it.

[00:01:38]>> He's done a really good job to put himself in this position. So, I think really we focused on just trying to keep things just business as usual. Let's just show up at the track, do what we do.

[00:01:47]>> You're handsome, Kevin.

[00:01:50]>> Thank you.

[00:01:59]>> What's going on? How are you?

[00:02:01]>> I think that's going to play in his favor. You know, I think tonight he can stay just calm and collected. That's going to benefit him.

[00:02:09]>> Forehead.

[00:02:09]>> Yeah.

[00:02:10]>> You really want that?
