Denny Hamlin outdueled Kyle Larson for the victory at Bristol, while Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick were ousted from the playoffs.
Truex faced the possibility of being the first regular-season champion to be eliminated in the first round as he didn't diagnose a broken piece in practice at Darlington and then had a tire puncture at Kansas.
"I'm mentally exhausted," Wallace said."I'm wore out. Gave it our all there. Battled hard and executed. That's what you've got to do."Logano, the defending Cup champion, was mired near the back and got caught up in a wreck on Lap 263, relegating him to a 34th-place finish. He needed another playoff driver to have trouble for him to advance.
Harvick finished 29th, and the 2014 Cup champion in his final season now knows he won't compete for the title.Still, it was a bad day to have a bad day for the driver who will join the FOX Sports booth next year.Hamlin and Larson cruising "I'm not looking to beat him over the next seven weeks, I'm just looking to try to get to Phoenix," Hamlin said."We've raced head-to-head the last three weeks but anything can happen.
