Wallace enters Talladega just two points below the cut-line in the playoffs. He started this round 14pts out, so a strong third at Texas helped him gain valuable ground.
But Wallace did lead a race-high 111 laps and was in control on the final restart before a three-wide pass down the backstretch secured William Byron the victory. While others may look at Talladega with trepidation, Wallace likely sees opportunity.
