Everybody behind me, everybody around me, man.
This team has been incredible every single year, every single race.
Not today, guys, but...
Apart from today... No, I'm joking.
It was, once again, I had to rocket ship.
But this team, all our partners, DHL, OpenAI,
everybody that has been supporting this team and has been part of it.
Honda giving us all that power that we needed every single time.
So, it's just been a magical year.
Thank you all, guys, for being here.
It makes it super special.
And time to celebrate with all these guys.
I don't know, honestly.
It's tough to pick a moment.
I just had such good times this year.
I feel like every single day that I entered the engineering meeting,
the garage, and I see these guys and we work together,
it's the best day ever.
But we had so much success.
I think winning Long Beach was pretty big.
I think Nashville as well, St. Pete.
Every year, every race has been incredible.
Firstly, my little girl hasn't seen me win yet, and she finally has.
So, dad's coming home with a trophy, baby.
Let's go, dude.
Carl, I love you, babe.
It's been hard, I know.
Dex Imogene, Dex Chevy was unbelievable.
These guys and girls on my team, Team Penske,
have stood by me the whole time.
Congrats to Alex on his fifth.
We're working hard to be better,
but today was a big step in the right direction.
