Key Highlights

  • That's over the entire 2,789 Cup races in history. Reddick took his first Daytona 500 win with an outstanding final lap.
  • The encore in the Autotrader 400 at EchoPark Speedway was even better.
  • He overcame right-front damage and a late multi-car crash before making a decisive move on the final lap. Nobody predicted the strong start 23XI Racing would be able to pull off.
  • Going into COTA, Reddick and teammate Bubba Wallace are first and second, respectively.
  • Both are decent road course racers as well. The DuraMAX Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas will be a difficult test for Reddick.
