Denny Hamlin won the Bristol Night Race, two former champions were eliminated and Bubba Wallace advanced in the playoffs on Saturday night.
Harvick, who is retiring at the end of the season, also was eliminated after finishing five laps down in 29th. Harvick was the first driver in 2014 to win the championship in this elimination format.
“It wasn’t enough. We were in a must-win situation,” McDowell said. “This is a learning experience. We’ll learn from this, get ready for next year.” Wallace also was booed and quoted recent U.S. Women's Open winner Coco Gauff for motivating him despite the discouragement. “I’m wore out. Gave it our all there. Battled hard and executed. That’s what you got to do,” Wallace said. “We know next week’s a reset. We just got to go out and have some fun.”
