Yeah, I mean it's certainly one that I'm focused on and want to uh run well at. It's such a uh execution racetrack where it's like, you know, your Sunday result has a lot to do with what happens during practice and qualifying and all those things. So, and then you know, conversely, it's like, well, where do I finish this week? That that will decide where I go out next week.

When you sign up to race for Mr. Penske, you know that that's an important place to him. It's not talked about in the shop, it's just known. And now, you know, that he's owned the speedway for the last handful of years, it's even more uh I wouldn't say pressure to win there, but uh it's it's more of a more of a known in our building that you know if you can win at the boss's track, that means a lot to him. That got him into racing uh when his dad took him there when he was a kid. Like that's you just know the meaning behind that place to him. And then obviously as a driver, you you want to put your name on there. So um big weekend. I hope we can deliver for for him. Um we gotta catch up to the indie car guys who are kicking our butt at that place on on their track record at 8500. So hopefully we have something for him next weekend and um be the coolest thing to share Victory Lane moment and kissing the bricks with Roger. That'd be a heck of an experience.
