I loved it. It would have been number 60 for me.\n\nBell and Chase Briscoe, Hamlin&#8217;s teammates, completed the top four places.\n\nWallace, who finished fifth, was satisfied with his performance, considering the initial difficulties of his car.\n\nThe next race, decisive for elimination, will take place at the Charlotte Motor Speedway mixed oval\/road course.\n\nThe drivers at risk of elimination are Ross Chastain, Austin Cindric, Reddick, and Wallace.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Obviously, there&#8217;s only one thing we can do in Charlotte (win), and that&#8217;s what we&#8217;ll focus on.<\/p><cite>Reddick<\/cite><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an exciting race at Kansas Speedway, Chase Elliott staged an epic comeback, securing his place in the third round of the NASCAR playoffs.
