Reddick has a victory this season, so he’s secured a playoff spot. Wallace doesn’t have a win this season and trails Michael McDowell by three points for the ultimate cutoff spot coming into Sunday’s race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (2:30 p.m. ET, USA Network).

“Everyone has got to get better for sure,” Hamlin stated Saturday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. “I would say when you look at how we break it down, the team certainly needs to take the biggest jump forward on performance. If we do that, I think our drivers are good enough to do it.”

Saturday was an excellent begin for the group. Reddick certified sixth and Wallace eighth. This is simply the second time for the reason that Coca-Cola 600 each vehicles have began within the prime 10.

Wallace, who completed third on this race final yr, stated his group frolicked this week inspecting its latest pitfalls.

“This week was a big reflection moment for everybody on the 23 team on how we need to execute better,” he stated. “Mistakes at this point in the season, there’s really no excuse for it, whether it’s my fault on track or the crew’s fault in preparation. We just have to be better as a team moving forward to even think about the playoffs.

“Seven races left (until the playoffs). We have the chance to do something great.”

Wallace’s drought comes after a May that noticed him rating three consecutive top-five finishes — 4 if together with the All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro.

Reddick, who gained at Circuit of the Americas in March, has had solely 4 prime 10s within the 13 races since.

“We’ve just got to clean up the little details,” Reddick stated. “That’s been our biggest fight all year. We’re not making the same mistake twice, but certainly we’ve had a lot of mistakes that just keep happening.

“We’ve got to get that out of our system. We’ve got to get back to having some races that go cleanly.”
