I think Connor's going to change a lot, you know, before he gets there, and before he gets over here to run, and I think that's all really good, you know, and he has time to continue to work on his craft. And I like Connor. I've been around him a little bit, you know, throughout the course of the season. And I think he's a really good dude. And I think he has a lot of talent. Obviously that's been shown at different points of his career, had a great season last year on the Saturday side. I know this year hadn't gone like he wanted it to, and some of that's been some of that's been his fault, some of it hasn't. A lot of it hasn't, really. So I'm excited to see where it goes. Again, it's a long ways off, and you know what that will be or won't be, nobody's gonna know until we kind of get going and get working together and really see some of that, you know, see some of that first hand. But I do think anytime you have somebody you know new come into a team, having a fresh perspective of different things can a lot of times be really healthy for you know for the company and for also each individual driver. You know, you might he might say things a certain way that makes you look at something different than you would otherwise, and sometimes that can be really cool. Congratulations to both those drivers on those big moves.
