  Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Kenny.
• 0:03
  Conversation brought to you by Jags, the leader in high
• 0:07
  performance aftermarket car parts.
• 0:10
  Remember to go to jags.com to fix your hot rod or your
• 0:14
  everyday vehicle up. Well, you're looking at her.
• 0:19
  She took NASCAR by storm about one month ago and we're going to
• 0:23
  talk about that and a little bit ago, Tony Bridinger.
• 0:27
  Tony, how are you? Hi, how are you?
• 0:31
  Doing really good. A little cloudy out here today.
• 0:34
  So where are we talking to you from?
• 0:37
  So I'm in Morrisville area. I usually say Charlotte, but I'm
• 0:40
  sure you know what Morrisville is, and it's cloudy here too,
• 0:42
  unfortunately. Yeah, you're, you're a
• 0:45
  California girl, aren't you? I am.
• 0:47
  So I was born and raised in the San Francisco area, and then I
• 0:50
  came out here just for racing, for NASCAR, and this is kind of
• 0:53
  where I'm based out of now. Well, let's get right to it.
• 0:58
  I follow you on all social media outlets, but you really, you're
• 1:04
  really shocked the racing world went about a month ago.
• 1:09
  I don't know really who it was. Maybe Adam Stern, maybe Jeff
• 1:12
  Gluck. Somebody said the most social
• 1:17
  media followers in NASCAR and all of a sudden it was Tony
• 1:22
  Bridinger and everybody went, hold on, what?
• 1:25
  It's not Dale Junior two point what 2.12.2?
• 1:32
  Million. Yeah, 2.2 million followers on
• 1:35
  Instagram. So tell me all about that day or
• 1:39
  that week when it was announced that everybody has all their
• 1:43
  eyes on you. Yeah, it was kind of funny.
• 1:45
  I feel like it caused some commotion.
• 1:47
  I believe it was Adam Stern that put that out.
• 1:50
  But yeah, I mean, it's something that I've been working towards
• 1:53
  for a long time and I'm still like 2.2 million.
• 1:56
  Like I want more than that. I feel like there's still, you
• 1:58
  know, endless growth that you can have as a brand.
• 2:02
  So for me, I feel like the number is kind of small in a
• 2:05
  sense. I mean, when you start comparing
• 2:06
  it to some like bigger athletes and stuff like a Serena Williams
• 2:09
  or something that I'm still some ways behind, but all part of
• 2:13
  building. A lot of people say to people
• 2:17
  like me and you, we understood. Even listen, even though I'm an
• 2:21
  old guy, I understood social media when it first came in.
• 2:26
  And our sponsors, they look at those numbers.
• 2:29
  Some of the older people go, some of the older people go
• 2:32
  there. What are you doing paying
• 2:33
  attention to that? But that is an important number
• 2:36
  for our sponsors, isn't it? Yeah, for sure.
• 2:39
  I do feel like a lot of people are like, oh, payless attention
• 2:41
  to social media and focus more on racing.
• 2:44
  That's like, I can't go racing unless I have sponsors behind
• 2:47
  me. And exactly, they look at social
• 2:49
  media. So I mean, there is definitely a
• 2:51
  fine balance to it, but I'm not going to be at the racetrack
• 2:54
  without my partners and they're not going to be with me without
• 2:57
  my social media. So they all kind of go hand in
• 2:59
  hand. But I do feel like outside
• 3:01
  looking in, some people don't always understand that whole
• 3:04
  aspect of it all. There's an old saying, if you're
• 3:07
  going to play, you got to pay. So let's get right to that.
• 3:13
  I am outside of St. Louis, MO by about 20 miles and
• 3:17
  I'm in Arnold, MO and there is a big old billboard off Interstate
• 3:23
  55. So it's almost on your way to
• 3:25
  Memphis, TN. And there's this beautiful
• 3:27
  billboard and we're going to have Charlie Marlowe drop that
• 3:30
  in right now. I, I took a picture of it and
• 3:34
  there you are. So Cane's chicken, Raising
• 3:39
  Cane's chicken Nuggets. This is a national marketing
• 3:44
  campaign. You are all over America.
• 3:48
  Tell me about this sponsor and how awesome it is that they
• 3:53
  really promote you and you're racing.
• 3:56
  Yeah, I love working with Raising Canes.
• 3:58
  They really have really embraced me in my journey and they truly
• 4:02
  believe in me, which is amazing to see.
• 4:04
  They've been really supportive of me and the campaign I think
• 4:06
  has been really successful and yeah, I'm excited.
• 4:10
  It's been cool to see people send in the photos of the
• 4:12
  billboards and my cardboard cutouts and stuff, but they've
• 4:15
  been really amazing to work with and very cool to work with a
• 4:18
  brand that really aligns with me and really champions me and my
• 4:21
  journey. So it's been amazing.
• 4:23
  And that's really what it's all about.
• 4:25
  I learned that from my Big Brother Rusty.
• 4:27
  He, you know, he had Miller brewing the beer and he's and
• 4:31
  they said, listen, Rusty Wallace winning on the racetrack, that's
• 4:35
  just a bonus. But we don't plan on that.
• 4:38
  We market Rusty and all the bars with the stand ups, you know,
• 4:43
  whether it's the pool lights over the pool tables.
• 4:46
  So I see those cardboard stand ups, I see these billboards.
• 4:50
  And that's really what it's all about.
• 4:52
  Is that marketing? We we got to sell product or
• 4:55
  else we don't go racing. Exactly, Yeah, I mean, I think
• 4:59
  it's just about, you know, brand awareness, getting the brand
• 5:02
  attention and also selling their product.
• 5:04
  You at the end of the day, my job is to get more people to go
• 5:07
  to raising canes and give the brand some more awareness.
• 5:10
  So yeah, it's been a great partnership so far.
• 5:14
  Yeah, I have only amazing things to say about and it's been
• 5:17
  somewhere that I always go to like after races whenever it's
• 5:21
  around. So it's kind of like cool full
• 5:22
  circle moment for me to be able to like actually work with a
• 5:26
  brand that, you know, it's like my favorite fast food chain.
• 5:28
  So it was very cool that all kind of worked out like that.
• 5:31
  Listen, I I always talk about the uncomfortable subjects.
• 5:36
  I married. I married the love of my life.
• 5:39
  She's she's dark complected. I always said she looked like an
• 5:43
  Indian, you know, and I like the girls that kind of look like
• 5:47
  Raquel Welch. I was talking to my daughter
• 5:50
  Brittany yesterday and Brittany's 32.
• 5:54
  And so my daughter Brittany said that Tony Brydinger, you, she
• 6:01
  said you're exotic looking and I so I looked it up.
• 6:04
  You're, you're a Lebanese German descent.
• 6:07
  You you were kind of reminded me of my wife.
• 6:12
  Tell me about do do you know about your your history even
• 6:16
  though you were born in California?
• 6:18
  Yeah. So my mom was born in Lebanon,
• 6:20
  Beirut, so I still have a lot of family out there.
• 6:24
  And she cooks amazing Lebanese food.
• 6:27
  So I do feel like it's very much, it's kind of how I was
• 6:30
  raised was just, you know, my mom's cooking and kind of like
• 6:33
  her culture. So yeah.
• 6:35
  Yeah, that, that's really cool. My my CPA accountant, he's from
• 6:39
  India. And boy, I tell you what, I'm a
• 6:41
  better person. He has taught me so much.
• 6:44
  He keeps me calm down because he's calm and I'm crazy.
• 6:49
  So I like I like meeting people from all over the world.
• 6:53
  So well, listen, let let's get right into it.
• 6:57
  Let's let's go back and forth. That's what Kenny conversation
• 7:00
  is all about. So you began racing Go karts at
• 7:05
  age 9 and you know, with your sister Annie, I might say.
• 7:11
  Tell me about where did this come from?
• 7:15
  When did you start liking racing?
• 7:18
  Yeah, probably the day that I tried to go Kart was the day
• 7:20
  that I started liking racing. I don't even think I knew what
• 7:23
  NASCAR was before I even hopped in a go Kart.
• 7:27
  It really just kind of opened up this whole new world for me.
• 7:29
  And, you know, my dad has always had like, a love for cars and he
• 7:33
  has a background in mechanical engineering and saw this
• 7:36
  billboard for go Kart classes and decided to just take me and
• 7:39
  my sister there to try it. He really had no intention of us
• 7:43
  wanting to pursue it, but we both fell in love with it and
• 7:46
  begged him for a go Kart. And yeah, for a long time was
• 7:49
  just my dad, my sister and myself just going up to the go
• 7:52
  Kart track every weekend, just kind of spending like quality
• 7:55
  time together. And I was very competitive right
• 7:57
  away. And I told my dad I want to be a
• 7:59
  race car driver, but I think it was just, for a long time, just
• 8:02
  something fun for us to do. And he probably figured it was
• 8:05
  just going to be a little phase. You, you remind me a little bit
• 8:09
  of a Jade Evidisian, both of you from the West Coast.
• 8:13
  You look, you look like you could be sisters up.
• 8:15
  So as we look a little forward here, you're you're very young,
• 8:19
  you're extremely young. So it's not going to be a real
• 8:23
  long Kenny conversation 'cause you're just a baby. 2016 USAC
• 8:29
  Speed 2 Western US Asphalt Midget series champion.
• 8:35
  So you were no joke right away. I mean, you won a championship
• 8:40
  in 2016. Tell me that about that
• 8:42
  experience. Yeah, so I grew up racing go
• 8:45
  karts and then around, I think it was age 15, my dad saw like
• 8:50
  AI think it was a pavement Midget at one of the go Kart
• 8:53
  races on display. And he knew nothing about, you
• 8:55
  know, really open wheel or Midget racing, but was like,
• 8:58
  hey, do you guys want to try this?
• 9:00
  And I was like, sure, why not? So I ended up doing a test and
• 9:04
  then again, kind of like similar with the go karts.
• 9:06
  Our dad got us pavement midgets and kind of same thing, just my
• 9:10
  dad taking me and my sister to the track and I raced it for a
• 9:13
  few years. My first couple years, I think I
• 9:15
  finished like second and like the western pavement points.
• 9:18
  Then my third year I got the championship, but I I had been
• 9:21
  wanting to raise late models for a while at that point.
• 9:24
  My dad told me once you get a championship, I'll, you know,
• 9:27
  kind of give you like my praise to go ahead and move on and race
• 9:30
  some late models. So kind of like when I got that
• 9:32
  championship, I was like, OK, I'm going to go race some stock
• 9:35
  cars. But it wasn't that easy of a
• 9:37
  process. But in my mind I thought like,
• 9:39
  OK, cool, on to the next step after that.
• 9:41
  So it was a good stepping stone for me.
• 9:42
  You're, you're so nervy. You know, if you were a guide,
• 9:47
  say you got big balls. You, you, you jump you, you
• 9:50
  know, you, you're, you're a, you are a Victoria's Secret model
• 9:56
  and you get in those gnarly race cars.
• 10:01
  I mean, you know, I guess Alan Sir Junior said it right with
• 10:05
  his Valvoline sponsor. He said, you know, if you're not
• 10:07
  a little afraid, you're lying. You get in these big cars and
• 10:12
  you mix it up with the guys at Daytona and Phoenix, and I mean,
• 10:16
  you're going at it. You just had that nerve from the
• 10:20
  start of your life. Or where did it come from?
• 10:23
  Yeah, it's funny because I feel like in like my day-to-day life,
• 10:26
  like outside of the race car, I feel like I'm very different.
• 10:28
  Like when I'm in the race car, it's kind of like an alter ego
• 10:31
  and I'm definitely a lot more aggressive and not as
• 10:34
  empathetic. And yeah, it's funny because I
• 10:37
  feel like it's almost like a polar opposite of me that's kind
• 10:40
  of let out when I'm in the race car.
• 10:41
  But yeah, I feel like early on, when I was little, I was just
• 10:44
  very competitive. I've always been like very
• 10:46
  ambitious. No dream was ever too big for
• 10:48
  me, so yeah. But I'm definitely different
• 10:51
  person. When I'm in the race car, I'm
• 10:53
  nearly as smiley and happy. I, I raced with a guy named
• 10:59
  Terry Labonte. He's a two time NASCAR cup
• 11:01
  champion and, and Terry was so calm, so calm.
• 11:06
  And when he got on the racetrack, it was like, whoa,
• 11:09
  this does this does not match the guy that I, I'm racing with.
• 11:13
  So let's go a little further here.
• 11:17
  You are an ARCA Menard series driver part time in the East and
• 11:22
  West series and part time in the Truck Series.
• 11:25
  This is 1 stat that I really like about you, 47 ARCA races
• 11:31
  with 17 top 10s. So I mean, you're, you're
• 11:36
  getting it done. You're, you're still going
• 11:37
  through the ranks, but you, it seems like you found a little
• 11:41
  bit of a home in the ARCA series of how has your year started
• 11:46
  out? How do you think you're doing,
• 11:49
  you know, at the start of your career?
• 11:51
  Yeah. So this year I'm running the
• 11:53
  full season in the National ARCA Series.
• 11:56
  I think it's like 2021 races where two races.
• 11:59
  And so far we kicked off the year at Daytona and then a few
• 12:03
  weeks ago we were at Phoenix. So I think so far so good.
• 12:06
  Daytona was kind of not the best.
• 12:08
  That's kind of just part of Daytona, I guess, but Phoenix is
• 12:12
  kind of a solid weekend for us. So I feel confident going ahead.
• 12:15
  I think for me, just improving off of everything last year, I
• 12:20
  feel like last year was a very big growth year for me.
• 12:22
  And honestly, at the time of last year, I wasn't even really
• 12:26
  thinking about doing ARCA for a third year.
• 12:28
  I was like, oh, maybe I'll just move up to the Truck Series.
• 12:31
  But then last year I feel like I made so much progress in the
• 12:33
  ARCA series and I just felt like there was so much left for me to
• 12:36
  still achieve in that series. And I felt like, well, my notes
• 12:39
  will just kind of keep on building that momentum and run
• 12:41
  the full season this year and hopefully get the championship.
• 12:44
  Yeah, you're doing the right thing.
• 12:46
  There's an old saying that you're very young, but there was
• 12:50
  a great race car driver, my hero Dick Trickle, and his phrase
• 12:55
  was, you know, crawl before you walk.
• 12:58
  And then in the race you must first finish to finish first.
• 13:02
  So you're doing that, you're putting your reps in, you're
• 13:05
  getting your career started. You've done a lot of other
• 13:08
  things outside of of racing and that that I want to talk about
• 13:13
  something that I really like the future of women.
• 13:17
  MO, the Motorsports Summit 12 ladies, you all went to Phoenix,
• 13:23
  you raced go karts, you raised $100,000 for the Women's Sports
• 13:31
  Foundation. That's a lot of money.
• 13:33
  Tony, tell me about that, that whole situation.
• 13:37
  Yeah, those are really amazing event.
• 13:38
  It was the day before I raised at Phoenix and raised in Kansas
• 13:43
  on the car and helped us put that whole thing together.
• 13:45
  So basically I deemed a bunch of the girls and said, hey, you
• 13:49
  know, can I fly you guys out to come raise go cards with me and
• 13:52
  watch the ARCA race. And that's kind of how it
• 13:54
  started off. And the event turned out
• 13:56
  amazing, better than I could have expected.
• 13:59
  Honestly. I think the girls had an amazing
• 14:00
  time and so it's really great to be able to see the future of the
• 14:03
  sport and actually do something hands on with them and really
• 14:05
  help them and share my story with them.
• 14:08
  And then also get them hooked up with, you know, go karting for a
• 14:10
  day and racing gear because that's all very expensive stuff.
• 14:13
  So they all seem to really enjoy it and also they all made
• 14:16
  friends with each other and I feel like it was an opportunity
• 14:19
  just to bring, you know, females in the sport together and hang
• 14:22
  out and do something fun. You're doing good things.
• 14:25
  And then once again, raising Canes, your sponsor, they help
• 14:30
  you with it. You raised $100,000.
• 14:33
  Listen, that's the type of sponsorship you want.
• 14:35
  And and another thing I see that's going on out there is the
• 14:39
  sisterhood of Speed. Toyota loves you.
• 14:43
  Once again, my daughter Brittany, she brings it up.
• 14:45
  She goes, dad, she's got a commercial on Toyota and she
• 14:48
  brings it up on her phone and there you are with other ladies.
• 14:52
  I was sponsored by Toyota for seven years.
• 14:56
  I know Paul Doshaw and my boss before that was Ed Laukas, and I
• 14:59
  know the whole bunch, David Wilson.
• 15:02
  What has it been like, you know, for you to work with Toyota and
• 15:06
  do those national commercials? Yeah, Toyota has been really
• 15:10
  great to work with. I feel like they've really
• 15:12
  championed a lot of female drivers more than than the other
• 15:14
  manufacturers. So it's been really awesome to
• 15:17
  see. I feel like it's such a
• 15:18
  welcoming environment and have a great development program.
• 15:21
  I was just at the performance facility earlier today.
• 15:24
  I train there every week. So they have a lot of different
• 15:27
  things that they help us with on and off the track.
• 15:30
  And it's great for development. And yeah, I love, I love my home
• 15:34
  with them. Tell me about what you just
• 15:37
  talked about. You train at Toyota.
• 15:40
  You're you're a girl, but you're working out, You're working on
• 15:44
  your reps What do you do to get ready to be a race car driver?
• 15:49
  Yeah, racing's so much more physical than I think people can
• 15:52
  really kind of understand, because I feel like the easiest
• 15:54
  thing to relate to is just driving your car down the
• 15:57
  highway, which is so different to that.
• 15:59
  I mean, the car is obviously, you know, they get really hot
• 16:02
  for me, like my heart rate tends to get really high.
• 16:05
  So I've been trying to work on my cardio, just upper body
• 16:07
  strength. But it's really a full workout
• 16:09
  when you're in the race car and you know, you still have to be
• 16:11
  able to react fast and you know, it's hot and your heart rates up
• 16:15
  and you have people just, you know, still be able to function
• 16:19
  and race at 1000%. So for me, I race, I'm sorry.
• 16:23
  I mean, I train like about five days a week and like then we go
• 16:28
  racing. So definitely a very hectic
• 16:31
  schedule. Yeah.
• 16:33
  And and that Toyota facility is that still it was that Salisbury
• 16:38
  where is the Toyota facility? Yeah.
• 16:40
  So there's a facility with like the simulator and like the
• 16:43
  engineers and stuff that's in Salisbury.
• 16:45
  And then in Morrisville they have like the facility for the
• 16:48
  drivers to go in and out of and train.
• 16:50
  And they have like our nutritionist there, you know,
• 16:54
  kind of like a mental health person, PT and like our training
• 16:58
  facility. So we basically have it all
• 17:00
  there for us. It's a really great place.
• 17:01
  And yeah, it's definitely kind of where I spend majority of my
• 17:05
  week at. You brought it up just now and
• 17:08
  I'm going to touch on it. Years ago I took sports therapy
• 17:13
  in Topeka, KS and at first I thought, oh, I'm a weirdo.
• 17:17
  But then they said, no, no, you know, the great baseball
• 17:21
  pitchers, the great, you know, football quarterbacks, great
• 17:24
  athletes, whether it's Denny Hamlin or anybody out there in
• 17:28
  NASCAR, William Byron, everybody is learning to work with sports
• 17:35
  therapists. Not, not, doesn't mean you're
• 17:37
  cuckoo. Just means you got to learn how
• 17:40
  to be tough. You got to have thick skin with
• 17:43
  data and telemetry nowadays. All these engineers, they're
• 17:47
  telling you what you're doing wrong.
• 17:50
  So what do you do to stay strong mentally?
• 17:55
  I mean, you're you're a lady. You're against all odds.
• 17:58
  These guys are out there. They don't want you to outrun
• 18:00
  them. Tony, what do you do to stay
• 18:03
  mentally strong? Yeah, I think there's definitely
• 18:05
  still like a stigma on like, seeing a therapist and mental
• 18:08
  health. But, you know, I think it's so
• 18:09
  important for everybody. And I think, you know, even if
• 18:12
  you're not an athlete, there's so much to benefit from.
• 18:14
  And, you know, I found it's helped a lot with my inner
• 18:16
  confidence and self esteem. So, I mean, I feel like, you
• 18:20
  know, racing is a hard sport and your odds of winning are very
• 18:23
  slim and it's very humbling for the most part.
• 18:25
  So, you know, sometimes you kind of have some self doubt and
• 18:27
  especially, you know, people are kind of like hating on you on
• 18:30
  social media and like you read some comments.
• 18:32
  It's easy to kind of let that all creep in.
• 18:34
  So for me, I feel like it's made a huge difference on just my
• 18:36
  self-confidence and I feel like it's really also showed on the
• 18:39
  track. Yeah, good point.
• 18:42
  You said all the right stuff because I was kind of the
• 18:45
  innovator in NASCAR with social media.
• 18:48
  I learned how to use it and it it got me to where I needed to
• 18:52
  get to with sponsorships. So yes, you, you said all the
• 18:55
  right stuff. You can't.
• 18:57
  It can creep in on you when the jealous people, you know, just
• 19:00
  oh, you're nothing but a good looking girl.
• 19:02
  So I agree with you. But listen, the men need it too.
• 19:07
  The men need it too. So well, I've roughed you up
• 19:09
  enough about racing. We talked about, you know, where
• 19:12
  you come from, how you got going, ARCA training, what you
• 19:16
  do. Let's have a little fun now.
• 19:18
  Perfect. I saw that you were on the Ellen
• 19:23
  DeGeneres Show in what, 2001? That what is that like going on
• 19:30
  such a famous show? And there she is, somebody world
• 19:33
  famous. Tell me about your experience
• 19:36
  with with The Ellen DeGeneres Show back in 2001.
• 19:40
  Yeah. So I actually went on would have
• 19:42
  been like, I think 2021, I think you were missing a two in there
• 19:45
  because it was right after my Aurka debut at Daytona.
• 19:50
  So yeah, I went on right after that and it was really cool.
• 19:54
  And I made that debut for me. I was just, you know, out there
• 19:57
  racing and then it got picked up a lot.
• 19:59
  And when I got out of the car after the race, my manager was
• 20:03
  like, hey, Ellen wants you on her show.
• 20:04
  And I was like, oh, really? OK, cool.
• 20:07
  But very surreal moment for me. And yeah, something I'm always
• 20:11
  going to look back on and be like, that was pretty sick that
• 20:13
  I did that. Where was that in New York?
• 20:16
  So it was out of LA, but it was actually during COVID, so I
• 20:20
  wasn't actually able to go into like, the studio in person.
• 20:22
  It was all through remote. But they sent me like this
• 20:25
  laptop and all this like camera equipment and lighting and all
• 20:28
  this stuff to get it all set up and make it look super
• 20:30
  professional still. But yeah, I was kind of bummed
• 20:33
  that I couldn't like see her in person, but it was a really cool
• 20:35
  experience. What, what a, what a great
• 20:37
  memory. And, and yeah, COVID was a, was
• 20:40
  a, a wild time in our lives, something we'll never forget.
• 20:45
  So I saw you driving the number one truck and it said Victoria's
• 20:51
  Secret on it. I mean, what an honor.
• 20:55
  As I remind all the ladies when I have a conversation with him,
• 20:59
  I'm a girl dad. You know, I have Brooke, Brandy
• 21:03
  and Brittany. They're 323436.
• 21:07
  And of course, my wife Kim. Tell me about how did you get
• 21:12
  hooked up with Victoria's Secret?
• 21:14
  Obviously you deserve to be a Victoria's Secret model, that's
• 21:18
  for sure. Tell me about this experience.
• 21:21
  Yeah, so that was another big dream come true for me.
• 21:25
  It's still kind of crazy when I say it out loud, but yeah, when
• 21:28
  I was younger, I wanted to be a race car driver but also a
• 21:31
  Victoria's Secret model, which I feel like many young girls
• 21:34
  wanted to be. But yeah, it's something that I
• 21:36
  told myself I was like, I'm going to be a Victoria's Secret
• 21:38
  model one day and I'm going to be a race car driver and.
• 21:42
  I love. This that sounds very far
• 21:44
  fetched. I love it.
• 21:45
  I love. It.
• 21:46
  And a lot of people told me they're like, oh, you can't
• 21:49
  really do both. I'm like, why not?
• 21:51
  Like, you know, why can't I? So I never really, you know, it
• 21:55
  was always kind of like, in the back of my mind.
• 21:57
  And I ended up meeting the casting director in New York.
• 22:02
  I guess it would have been a couple years ago now and just
• 22:06
  like a quick coffee and a few weeks later they called me and
• 22:08
  said, hey, we have a campaign for you.
• 22:10
  So I raced Talladega in 2022 and right after I flew out to go
• 22:14
  shoot for Victoria's Secret. So it was kind of like one of
• 22:17
  the best weekends of my life. And then being able to have them
• 22:20
  on the truck and for them to really get behind my racing
• 22:23
  career was a very big dream come true because I've always dreamed
• 22:26
  of being in the Truck Series. Plus, to have Victoria's Secret
• 22:28
  on the truck was insane. So very surreal.
• 22:32
  Coney Brydinger, look at you go. You are you are tearing it up.
• 22:36
