Kyle Larson cruised to a win, Denny Hamlin saved his season and four drivers were bounced from the playoffs. Here's what happened at Bristol.

The 2017 champion was eliminated from the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs on Saturday at Bristol. After entering the Round of 16 elimination race 14 points below the cut line, a fourth-place qualifying effort and a strong run had Truex Jr. in line to potentially advance to the Round of 12.

Kyle Larson led 462 of 500 laps to win the night race at Bristol, while four other drivers were eliminated from the Cup Series playoffs.

Brad Keselowki, Martin Truex Jr., Ty Gibbs and Harrison Burton knocked out as the 16-driver field was cut to 12 in the first of three elimination races.

Owen Larson was placed on the window, half in the car, half out, as his dad drove a victory lap around Bristol Motor Speedway with his son holding the No. 1 finger in the air. He later joined his dad atop the car during Saturday night's victory lane celebration.
