This is Chazz, writing on Paul's computer from Nashville. The comment about company size was meant to emphasize how very well the entire Team did at Taly than a claim as to actual size. I hope the focus of this thread stays on the great performance of the entire X Team. Fabulous! Much credit to our great drivers! I know Phil and Tom are absolutely pumped about their best finishes ever and Ellis is, shal we say, "unhappy" with his buggy finish.
It's a tribute to Ellis that he was able to come back to the track at all on Sunday, and then, after a disappointing grid position, fight his way through to the podium. A true measure of character. We are all so proud of you, Ellis!
And, of course, absolutely over the moon with Phil's first-ever win. We had much faith in Phil last fall. Had the opportunity to add more than one of several top drivers to the Team, and selected only Phil. He has proven that a great decision! Congratulations Phil!!!
One of the real pleasures of my position is that I get to watch young talent develop. Sixteen months ago we were not looking for more drivers and the chance to land Tom Cockerill came up. U.K. Captain Ellis said, "He will be a great one," and we are so happy to see Tom growing and getting faster every day. Congratulations Tom!!!
Poor Ellis, the "old man," will have to work hard this year just to beat the rest of the Team! I'm sure he is smiling. Ellis, your help has been crucial! Thank you.
