00:00Welcome back to Bristol Motor Speedway. I'm Alex Weaver and it's time for an
00:04elimination race under the lights at the last great Coliseum. Joey Logano is the
00:08only driver locked into the next round and after wild card weekends at Atlanta
00:12and Watkins Glen veteran drivers find themselves below the elimination line.
00:17Denny Hamlin won the spring race here at Bristol earlier this season but will
00:21need another incredible night at Bristol to continue his quest for his first
00:25championship. I'm gonna attack this like I need to go in you know unless the team
00:31tells me otherwise and there's certain things that happen in the middle of the
00:34race that change that change our position. I'm gonna attack it like I have
00:39to win. Champions Martin Truex Jr. and Brad Kozlowski sit below the elimination
00:44line with Denny Hamlin. It's Ty Gibbs and Chase Briscoe that sit right above it on
00:48the bubble. The opening round for the NASCAR playoffs closes tonight at
00:51Bristol. We'll narrow the field down to 12. Let's rattle some cages. Tune in 730
00:56p.m. Eastern on NBC.
