But I've got a couple bottles that were bought early in 22 that were like, the next win we're gonna drink these, and they've been sitting on the counter way too f*** long. So yeah, so to everybody that said I couldn't win and don't deserve to be at Hendrick Motorsports and all that bullsh*t cheers to you.
