1. 0:00It's a gorgeous Sunday in Northern
2. 0:02California. Today it's the Toyota Save
3. 0:05Mark 350. For racing on the road, we've
4. 0:08got to talk about Shane Van Gizburg. And
5. 0:10he is no doubt the favorite. The other
6. 0:12drivers in this race that have a real
7. 0:14shot to go out and slay number 97.
8. 0:17>> Larson Reic, those two guys are going to
9. 0:19be great today.
10. 0:20>> Ty Gibbs is someone to watch in the 54.
11. 0:23And the last guy I would put on the
12. 0:25board for you, AJ Almondinger, making
13. 0:27his 500th career start. Nine to go to
14. 0:30running for a championship. We're green
15. 0:32in Soma. Ty Gibbs getting after it out
16. 0:35front with Carson Hosar
17. 0:44playing through turn two. 77 Hosabar
18. 0:47jumps to the race lead.
19. 0:57SVG on the outside of Larson down into
20. 0:59turn four.
21. 1:04SVG down to the inside here. Just trying
22. 1:06to get back in line. Battle for the lead
23. 1:08up front. Side by side. They're going to
24. 1:11argue through the essence here.
25. 1:15>> There will be a lot of arguing
26. 1:16throughout the day for position. Give it
27. 1:18to Ty Gibbs.
28. 1:21Saw it side by side. A change for fourth
29. 1:23while we were away. AJ Almondinger able
30. 1:25to get around Kyle Larson.
31. 1:28>> Take a look at how it happened here
32. 1:31down in a deep braking zone of turn 11.
33. 1:33Look at the 16 spinning out almost into
34. 1:36the corner. Uses the five to make the
35. 1:39turn. Eight tires stick better than four
36. 1:42in that case.
37. 1:42>> I think there was an elbow stuck out
38. 1:44there as he came through.
39. 1:45>> Yeah. See, Bale had a little challenge
40. 1:49on the racetrack. Let's take a look here
41. 1:51up the hill. The 77 getting into the
42. 1:53back bumper. Wow. Holy moly.
43. 1:57Nice. You know, it's just a corner.
44. 1:59You're heading up the hill and that's
45. 2:02just not something that you need to be
46. 2:04doing. And, you know, turning somebody
47. 2:06sideways in such a high-speed corner of
48. 2:08the racetrack. I don't know. That's just
49. 2:10probably a mistake. I don't know if the
50. 2:1120 may have gotten into the 77 at some
51. 2:14point a lap before.
52. 2:15>> Unscheduled for Daniel Suarez. He has a
53. 2:18tire going down. He thinks they debated
54. 2:20for a moment. Hey, do you want us to pit
55. 2:22or you want me to try and let this thing
56. 2:24live? What do you want me to do? They
57. 2:25decided to pit. So, they bring him down
58. 2:27pit road here. 11 to go. Really can't
59. 2:29connect it from any here anything here,
60. 2:31Steve. Strategy-wise, but they had to
61. 2:33get that Goodyear tire off.
62. 2:34>> Well, and the big concern in the garage
63. 2:35area this morning was only four sets of
64. 2:37sticker tires in your pits. So I had
65. 2:39multiple crew chiefs say if you have a
66. 2:41flat or spin out in stage one you are
67. 2:43perhaps handcuffed for the rest of the
68. 2:45day on being straightforward and not
69. 2:47being very creative. So now we have
70. 2:49Suarez leaving pit road. The bleacher
71. 2:51report on board camera climbing up into
72. 2:53turn two as Marty says can't connect it
73. 2:56meaning running long into the next
74. 2:57stage. So just an unfortunate turn of
75. 2:59events for the seven as we see them
76. 3:00march for the 19 of Chase Brisco
77. 3:03continues. Car look good in practice.
78. 3:06AJ Almaninger back in the eighth spot.
79. 3:09Let's get 16 team radio.
80. 3:12>> I think the toe knocked out a little
81. 3:13bit.
82. 3:15So, I just struggling gripwise overall.
83. 3:18>> Copy. Be hard to hard to fix.
84. 3:21>> I don't know if it hurt the car or I
85. 3:23just suck, but it's not very good.
86. 3:27>> And Tyler Reic is going the wrong
87. 3:30direction. After qualifying 11 fell to
88. 3:3317th, they said you are losing in turn
89. 3:35two. That is our biggest loss. They're
90. 3:37trying to get better in that section of
91. 3:40the racetrack
92. 3:41>> as pit roads busy. Rinse and repeat
93. 3:43leaders coming now down into turn 11
94. 3:46again. We will see if now the 54 decides
95. 3:49to pit or he's going to stay out for the
96. 3:50stage win. Well, there you go. He's
97. 3:52going to make the decision easy. Now SVG
98. 3:54is going to try to get committed to pit
99. 3:56road before the 54 closes pit road. He
100. 3:59has to get all the way around. There you
101. 4:01go. He's now committed. Pit road was
102. 4:03still open when he did it. Other cars
103. 4:05are also jumping to pit road.
104. 4:07>> Marty 97 on the pit road in front of
105. 4:09you.
106. 4:10>> Yeah, this was that decision marker that
107. 4:12we talked about for the 97 team again
108. 4:14outside of a chase spot coming into the
109. 4:16race here at Soma, but clearly feel like
110. 4:18they have a car that can win. Kyle
111. 4:20Larson also on pit road and not a word
112. 4:23from SVG after he's at court early on.
113. 4:25We are terrible but was one of the
114. 4:27fastest cars. The later the run went on
115. 4:30SVG for fresh Goodyear tires. They'll
116. 4:33skip the points here in stage one and
117. 4:34put themselves in a position to possibly
118. 4:36win the race.
119. 4:37>> And he's going to win the opening stage
120. 4:39here at Soma. His second stage win of
121. 4:41the campaign, his first since he did it
122. 4:44on the road course in Austin, Texas,
123. 4:46Circuit of the Americas.
124. 4:4823 cars flipped the stage. But we have a
125. 4:51developing situation here with Tyler
126. 4:53Reic and the number 45 car guys. His
127. 4:55team has gone under the hood. Jimmy,
128. 4:56what do you think it is?
129. 4:57>> Yeah, it sounds like something in the
130. 4:58powered steering. We had this issue a
131. 5:00couple times last year. um they might be
132. 5:02able to to fix it and improve it, but as
133. 5:05this issue develops, it's just eating
134. 5:07the internal parts uh out out of the
135. 5:09power steering unit.
136. 5:10>> I don't know much, but I would say that
137. 5:12not having power steering at a road
138. 5:13course sucks.
139. 5:14>> Leaders in the Echo Park automotive
140. 5:16restart zone, Shane Van Gizburg and Kyle
141. 5:19Larson getting us going in the second
142. 5:22stage.
143. 5:37All the nine of Chase Elliot off the
144. 5:39dirt a little bit there.
145. 5:41Cost him a little bit of grip and a spot
146. 5:43to the 88 of Zillich.
147. 5:46>> Little contact with the 24 and Denny
148. 5:48Hamlin.
149. 5:49>> Yeah, William Byron musling up down to
150. 5:51turn four.
151. 5:53>> What did you say earlier? They're
152. 5:54arguing for position. Dale,
153. 5:56>> look at Denny back to the inside. That's
154. 5:57not over with.
155. 5:59>> Byron might send Denny an email based on
156. 6:02that paint scheme the 11's running this
157. 6:04week. You see Bubba Wallace off track.
158. 6:06He there. You see the cars to the speed
159. 6:08over to the right. So he got sent off to
160. 6:11the left. Yeah, looks like might have
161. 6:13missed turn eight. I'm not sure if he
162. 6:15made any contact with the barrier of the
163. 6:16wall over there.
164. 6:19>> Very delicately merges back in. Todd
165. 6:21Gillan going to take advantage. Justin
166. 6:23Hill there in the 33. Bubba was top 10
167. 6:27now being scored 20 seconds. Just gets a
168. 6:29little bit loose in the S's overorrects
169. 6:33it. He knows that he's not on the
170. 6:36racetrack anymore. Right. So, let's see.
171. 6:40Got a little too much curb right there.
172. 6:43And so, that puts him on this runoff
173. 6:45here. He comes to a stop because he
174. 6:46thinks he needs to serve a penalty. He
175. 6:48doesn't. Right.
176. 6:49>> Yeah. The stop's unnecessary.
177. 6:51>> Yeah. Yeah, he's going to have to do a
178. 6:52little
179. 6:54>> Well, we say the stop's unnecessary, but
180. 6:55it's a judgment call. So, he's obviously
181. 6:58over there in distress, getting too
182. 6:59loose, as you pointed out, Dale. I He
183. 7:01probably has no idea where he's going to
184. 7:03rejoin the racetrack. Not something you
185. 7:04practice. So, I'm afraid if he gasses up
186. 7:06and he blends in about the same spot.
187. 7:08NASCAR could at that point say, "Nope,
188. 7:10you cut the course." And that's a pass
189. 7:11through, which is a 25second penalty. He
190. 7:14decides to give some back early in the
191. 7:16race. I think I like that call from
192. 7:18Bubba. Just making sure you don't have
193. 7:19to serve any sort of second penalty.
194. 7:21what is already a mistake. Just over 10
195. 7:23laps to go. Stage two, Soma, California.
196. 7:26Side by side on TNT. You saw a little
197. 7:29movement off the pavement
198. 7:32here on the road course.
199. 7:36Yeah, let's take a look. 23 gets loose
200. 7:39in the breaking zone. He's about to
201. 7:41crash. So, luckily, he's able to
202. 7:45land in the lap of the 34 car.
203. 7:48>> Yeah. The 34 though,
204. 7:49>> he wasn't very happy. No. He said,
205. 7:51"Listen, I know it was a mistake, but
206. 7:53your mistake cost me. So, I'm going to
207. 7:55find you here entering turn two, and I'm
208. 7:57going to make sure that you don't make
209. 7:59turn two."
210. 8:01>> Bubba ends up in the dirt.
211. 8:04And just seconds later, 34 says, "You
212. 8:06know what? One's not enough.
213. 8:08>> I'm going to get both.
214. 8:08>> We're going to get one more."
215. 8:09>> You know, I'M SO MAD AT BUBBA. I'm going
216. 8:11to get his teammate, too.
217. 8:12>> I mean, what a rough ride for 2311
218. 8:15today. They were so good last week. And
219. 8:17you think about here today, Reic having
220. 8:20the issues. He's made multiple pit stops
221. 8:22six laps down.
222. 8:23>> Let's see. I assume the 97 pit. So now
223. 8:25the question I have is do Blaney and
224. 8:27Zillich come in. Gibbs and Bell I think
225. 8:30we saw their strategy. They won stage
226. 8:31one. Look how much a head start the 97
227. 8:34has. He's going to come all the way
228. 8:36around there. It's going to answer your
229. 8:37question. Blay Zillich come to pit road.
230. 8:41Ty Gibbs stays on the racetrack. He will
231. 8:43be the leader and probably have the best
232. 8:44chance to win the stage. Marty,
233. 8:46>> you see SVG coming down pit road. So
234. 8:48that last adjustment really helped. I
235. 8:50need more of that. But the long run
236. 8:52speed in the 97 just exceptional. And
237. 8:55even though they're going to flip stage
238. 8:57two here, don't be surprised if SVG
239. 8:59gains a decent amount of stage points
240. 9:01here as well. See his teammate Connor
241. 9:03Zillich who is keeping pace with SVG on
242. 9:06the longer run. Very impressive day for
243. 9:08Connor Zilla. Shannon,
244. 9:09>> I look at these drivers running it long.
245. 9:11I go right to position number four.
246. 9:13Austin Cynric going to get some stage
247. 9:15points here. I talked to Brian Wilson,
248. 9:17his crew chief, yesterday. He said it's
249. 9:19been a blueco collar effort. Lot of runs
250. 9:21this season between eighth and 14th as
251. 9:24they nickel and dime their way into a
252. 9:26chase position and trying to get some
253. 9:28stage points here. Well, think about
254. 9:29this. With this win, Gibbs will have
255. 9:31scored 20 stage points. He came in today
256. 9:34only a point behind Larson in the
257. 9:36standings, 50-ish behind Blay. So, this
258. 9:38is a driver who is thinking moving up.
259. 9:40And how about Bell? What a day. He had
260. 9:42slipped to 12th with this wrist injury.
261. 9:45No matter what happens, he has scored a
262. 9:47ton. 18 stage points for the injured
263. 9:49driver of the 20.
264. 9:51>> Get out the broom. It's a sweep for Tai
265. 9:53Gibbs who wins stage one and stage two
266. 9:56from the pole here at Soma. Bell
267. 9:59Almondinger, Cedric Chastain, the top
268. 10:01five. Final stage starts now on TNT.
269. 10:11Lane choice always a debate. SVG making
270. 10:14the right lane. An obvious choice from
271. 10:16the front row, the back back of the
272. 10:18field to have to figure it out up over
273. 10:19the crest of turn two.
274. 10:22Risco noses through to third. Blaney and
275. 10:25Larson trying to settle fourth as SVG
276. 10:28gets away with the lead.
277. 10:29>> Looked like AJ Armonder got shoved in
278. 10:31the dirt a little bit right there in the
279. 10:32back of the field. Everybody trying to
280. 10:34figure it out. More contact.
281. 10:38>> 51 to go in the race. A pit stop still
282. 10:41required, but with no natural yellows
283. 10:43today. You can see everybody's
284. 10:45anticipation as we have a big stack up
285. 10:47on the inside lane into turn seven. So
286. 10:50much contact back in the pack and lots
287. 10:52of toe toe links getting bent. Front
288. 10:55ends getting banged around.
289. 10:57>> SVG really wide out of four there. Loves
290. 10:59that higher line to be able to carry the
291. 11:01speed. Oh, lots of contact back here in
292. 11:03the pack.
293. 11:04>> The flying burries there. Noah Greson in
294. 11:07the four and the caution is out. Steve
295. 11:10just said it. Clean race. Only cautions
296. 11:12prior to now. We're the end of stage one
297. 11:15and stage two. Our first for a problem
298. 11:17on track. 61 laps into this race.
299. 11:20>> Trying to see what the yellow was for
300. 11:22right here. We're going to see some
301. 11:23contact.
302. 11:24221.
303. 11:27>> Yeah, I couldn't tell if Josh turned
304. 11:29into the corner. Unknow, you know,
305. 11:31unknowingly coming across the nose of
306. 11:33the two car. Cynric is hard to tell from
307. 11:35that vantage point, but just a contact
308. 11:37between the two and the 21 spins Josh
309. 11:40around. Then a stack up with some other
310. 11:42cars.
311. 11:44>> Probably
312. 11:52everybody lucky to get through there.
313. 11:54Actually,
314. 11:54>> I thought Busher was going to be a
315. 11:55yellow by himself because that thing was
316. 11:58spinning out off the curb. Oh, there you
317. 12:00go. teammates Shane Van Gizburg and
318. 12:02Connor Zilich
319. 12:05great great
320. 12:14>> man. Not a great restart for Zilich. I
321. 12:16don't know if that was team orders or
322. 12:18whatever, but
323. 12:20if it was, he's giving up possibly
324. 12:22second position to Brisco. Every pass,
325. 12:24every race, every position battle here
326. 12:26is for the win. That's the way you got
327. 12:28to approach these races.
328. 12:32>> If that was team orders, I'd be arguing
329. 12:34the next time I heard it over the radio.
330. 12:36The five and the 12, the five and the
331. 12:3812, excuse me. The nine of Chase Elliot
332. 12:41offline drivers left. And look at the
333. 12:44swarm of bees to the right. Two and
334. 12:45three wide. They still have them out of
335. 12:47the groove.
336. 12:48>> Yeah. Almost.
337. 12:48>> Oh, we got a car around the 11 of
338. 12:50Hamlin. Lots of positions.
339. 12:52>> He was up there inside the top 10 riding
340. 12:55seventh. goes around in seven and with
341. 12:57all these cars on the lead lap just
342. 12:59losing so many.
343. 13:00>> Let's take a look and see how Denny got
344. 13:02turned around here. It's kind of shipped
345. 13:04off into the corner. A little contact to
346. 13:05the nose there. That's not ideal.
347. 13:11Another look at it right there. Just
348. 13:13three wide Hosamar with his nose in
349. 13:15there.
350. 13:16>> You knew it. Boy,
351. 13:18>> something about this 19 all
352. 13:20>> Oh, the nine's around coming out of turn
353. 13:23four. Chase Elliot spins. All right,
354. 13:24good to roll.
355. 13:26>> Well, Joey Chimit stops coming back.
356. 13:29>> Saw a couple of those yesterday in
357. 13:31practice and qualifying.
358. 13:32>> I couldn't tell. Somebody got him in the
359. 13:34red bumper.
360. 13:35>> The 42 spinning out.
361. 13:37>> He's not done spinning out.
362. 13:38>> Look out.
363. 13:39>> See you behind the tree. Just the 34.
364. 13:41Then you're good.
365. 13:44>> I can't tell if he got help from the
366. 13:46two. Cynric or not.
367. 13:47>> Yeah, Cynric was right up there on the
368. 13:49back bumper.
369. 13:51>> Oh, listen.
370. 13:57Oh, I think he actually climbed up on
371. 13:59top of the curb there. He definitely hit
372. 14:01the curb. I can't tell if there was a
373. 14:02bump from behind, but the nine
374. 14:03definitely got himself out of shape with
375. 14:05all that internal curb. It's really good
376. 14:08for second.
377. 14:09>> Zillich looking inside turn seven.
378. 14:11Little contact.
379. 14:14>> He had the bump. Just didn't have the
380. 14:16run to get by Brisco there. 19 stays in
381. 14:19that runnerup spot.
382. 14:22Chase Brisco in for service here. James
383. 14:25Small likes his pace overall. Says the
384. 14:28balance is good. Pit stop here. It'll be
385. 14:31four tires down and away. Marty,
386. 14:33>> career day for Connor Zillich so far.
387. 14:36Can he bring it home maybe with a win.
388. 14:38OH, A SLOW STOP THERE for the 88. That's
389. 14:40going to cost him just a little bit.
390. 14:42Said he was too tight in the
391. 14:44righthander. So, we'll see how much
392. 14:45track position you want it to happen
393. 14:47under green, not under caution, don't
394. 14:48you, Steve? For the 88. And Michael
395. 14:51McDow much better on the longer run for
396. 14:52that 71 taking his service here with 28
397. 14:55to go as well.
398. 14:56>> And the hiccup for Connor Zilich as he
399. 14:58made his exit.
400. 15:02>> A just stalled it.
401. 15:05Luckily the car refired pretty quickly.
402. 15:07Was able to drive away. It's Marty the
403. 15:1097 of SPG in front of you.
404. 15:12>> Yes, Steve. Once he started to stretch
405. 15:14his legs as you mentioned a junior a
406. 15:15moment ago, he built that lead up to 7
407. 15:17seconds for Shane Van Gizburg. as he
408. 15:20comes to pit road here. He's done his
409. 15:22job. Now it's up to the pit crew. Said
410. 15:24he was struggling with the fronts and
411. 15:25the rears and he felt like the last set
412. 15:27of tires were the worst of the day.
413. 15:29Hopefully they get a better one on here.
414. 15:31We'll see where he cycles out now.
415. 15:33>> He's at the end exiting the pit lane.
416. 15:36And here comes Brisco across the start
417. 15:39finish line. The blend up the hill.
418. 15:41>> Oh, the 97 has it by 20 25 car lengths.
419. 15:44That and this is the battle right now. I
420. 15:46think the best one on the racetrack
421. 15:47between Larson and Zilich.
422. 15:50And Larson has taken it.
423. 15:53Thought Zillich would be able to drive
424. 15:54away from this five car because
425. 15:58you he held that track position during
426. 16:00the pit cycle, but maybe a little bit of
427. 16:02an tire advantage on the five. It's only
428. 16:03a lap, but let's take a look and see how
429. 16:06this pass happened.
430. 16:10Yeah, the breaking zone of turn 11.
431. 16:14Larson down in there stays off the door
432. 16:16of the 88. Good clean pass
433. 16:19and he was pretty far back to be able to
434. 16:22make that move. I was really impressed
435. 16:24that he didn't didn't end up in the door
436. 16:26of the 88 car. Might have caught the 88
437. 16:28by surprise. My goodness.
438. 16:32The 88 struggling a little bit in the
439. 16:34breaking zone. I guess some balance of
440. 16:36the car just doesn't look quite as good
441. 16:37as the run before Zilich. Rad Keslowski
442. 16:40able to slide by Austin Cynric a lot on
443. 16:45the line here.
444. 16:46>> Yeah, late dive bomb down into turn 11
445. 16:49and I don't think that made Cric very
446. 16:52happy.
447. 16:53Felt like it. Look, look at there. And
448. 16:56then I
449. 16:58>> I think Cynric went after him at the top
450. 17:00of turn two
451. 17:01>> and missed
452. 17:02>> and missed. Yeah,
453. 17:03>> I say a lot on the line. Inseason
454. 17:05challenge. We documented that. And those
455. 17:07are two drivers fighting right around
456. 17:09the chase cut line. It is another battle
457. 17:12for position. Tai Gibbs going after
458. 17:14Zillich for fourth. The incredible run
459. 17:17continues for the 54.
460. 17:20>> Zillich just lets him go. I mean, it's
461. 17:22not much to do there. The 54 is so much
462. 17:24faster all day long. And
463. 17:25>> I was about to do a report about how Ty
464. 17:28Dylan was going to knock off Denny
465. 17:29Hamlin once again. Dylan a moment ago
466. 17:32was running in the top 20 and just
467. 17:35started losing power steering. Hamlin
468. 17:37now only a couple of spots behind Ty
469. 17:40Dylan. Can he hang on for these final 12
470. 17:42laps and for the second straight year
471. 17:45have this colleague team knock off Denny
472. 17:47Hamlin?
473. 17:48>> Yeah, with four laps to go
474. 17:50>> right there heading up to turn one. I
475. 17:53think Larson understands that
476. 17:56>> totally just cooked it into turn one.
477. 18:01He's sitting there with an opportunity
478. 18:02and he knows it because SVG is
479. 18:04struggling here to catch the seven and
480. 18:06SVG's losing performance in the car.
481. 18:10>> So the the 19 sees this out his
482. 18:13windshield and he's pushing and pushing
483. 18:15harder. Just asking a little bit too
484. 18:16much, but it's not over yet. A lot of
485. 18:19laps left.
486. 18:20>> Talk about SVG trying to match Tony
487. 18:22Stewart for second on the alltime wins
488. 18:24list when it comes to road course
489. 18:26victories. Tony Stewart was Chase
490. 18:28Brisco's hero growing up and now he's
491. 18:31driving the 19 for Joe Gibbs Racing and
492. 18:34trying to run down SVG. Two laps to go
493. 18:36at Soma. Hard to believe it, but
494. 18:39Brisco's strongest part of the racetrack
495. 18:41is in the breaking zones. You think
496. 18:43that'd be SVG strength
497. 18:46now up the hill. SVG with a little
498. 18:48traffic in front.
499. 18:51Does the 51 lay over and get out of the
500. 18:53way of the leaders? He's going to race
501. 18:55down into the corner. It's going to slow
502. 18:57SVG up. It's not a good situation.
503. 19:00Can SVG make the pass in the breaking
504. 19:02zone of four?
505. 19:04Not able to do it. Has to follow the 51
506. 19:07through into the breaking zone.
507. 19:10Brisco with a much easier path now.
508. 19:14Look at the breaking the 19 has into
509. 19:16turn seven. Big charge for Chase Brisco
510. 19:23through the S's.
511. 19:27The issue is as close as the 19 gets to
512. 19:29the 97, he then starts to struggle with
513. 19:31arrow. He has no tire left. Neither one
514. 19:35of these cars have any tire left.
515. 19:37They're both struggling, hanging on,
516. 19:38just trying to stay on the asphalt as
517. 19:41they come out of turn 10.
518. 19:4519 just trying to get close in the
519. 19:47breaking. It's incredible how much he
520. 19:49gains on SVG into turn 11. Back to the
521. 19:53white flag. One lap to go. Sponsored by
522. 19:56Credit One Bank. Van Gizburg and in
523. 19:59front of Brisco.
524. 20:00>> SVG cannot allow the 19 to have an
525. 20:03opportunity in the 11. That is what
526. 20:06Brisco is trying to do this entire lap
527. 20:08is close the gap all the way back to the
528. 20:12end of the lap.
529. 20:12>> And if you're SPG, I think you believe
530. 20:14it's going to be all about the S's.
531. 20:16You're the best changing direction. Even
532. 20:18with a car that's fading, you got to get
533. 20:20down into this braking zone. This is the
534. 20:22first opportunity that the 19 will be
535. 20:23able to collect and get a run on you.
536. 20:26Success so far for now the 97. It's turn
537. 20:29seven and hit your marks down the S's.
538. 20:3419's right there. He wants to be able to
539. 20:37keep this distance all the way through
540. 20:39the S's. But SVG needs a little bit more
541. 20:41of a buffer so that Brisco can't reach
542. 20:44him in the breaking zone. We always talk
543. 20:46about the importance of turn 10. Setting
544. 20:48up that run and that opportunity at turn
545. 20:5111.
546. 20:53>> Frisco's there. He's closing the gap.
547. 20:57>> Turn to 11. 19 is dancing. Here's Shane
548. 21:00Van Gizburgen into the hairpin.
549. 21:05>> Brisco charges in. Can't make the pass.
550. 21:08We're racing in wine country and Shane
551. 21:11Van Gizburgen is the toast of the town.
552. 21:14He wins again at Soma.
