An Interview with:

Q. You've been knocking on the door of this first career Cup Series victory for a while now. You get to say you're a winner today in the Cup Series. Describe the emotion.

TY GIBBS: Yeah, it's awesome. It's awesome to be with great people. To be in this position is great. I'd love for my father to have seen this. I knew he knew it was going to happen and expected it as well.

Yeah, it was great day for us. My boys didn't give up. Pit crew is just amazing. This is our family. It's been great. So it's just such great deal.

Very honored to be in this situation. Thank you for Monster Energy. Been with me my whole career. Mitch Covington, Dave Gowland, Elton, everybody a part of it. They've been with me since I was a kid. I really appreciate this.

Q. Bring me back through the end of the race, holding off Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson. What did it take to have the composure to bring this thing home?

TY GIBBS: Honestly, I didn't really know or care if I was going to win or not. I thought the race was awesome. I thought we all put on the racing was great. Feel like it's been us the whole year.

I really appreciate always racing Ryan Blaney and Kyle too. Those guys always run me real well. We all run together and hard.

Hopefully we put a great show on for the fans. Thank you for Team 54, everybody that's a part of this whole deal. What a great day.
