Just like Michael Jordan did a few times in his playing career, Tyler Reddick has gone back-to-back after winning the Autotrader 400 on Sunday, prevailing in the overtime laps to take home the checkered flag and another win for Jordan’s 23XI Racing.
Reddick’s win came a week after he won the Daytona 500. With the victory, Reddick is the sixth driver to win the Daytona 500 and the following race.
The Winner Is …
Reddick won his 10th NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, going back-to-back following his Daytona 500 win. While Reddick won the first two races of the 2026 season, he went winless in 2025.
How The Race Was Won
Reddick was third entering the final two overtime laps, trailing Carson Hocevar and Bubba Wallace. Wallace, who is one of Reddick’s teammates at 23XI Racing, held the lead at one point during the overtime, but Reddick was able to get in front at the start of the final lap. Chase Briscoe tried to pass Reddick, but the No. 45 car held him off.
One Big Moment
A wreck involving William Byron with four laps to go helped set up the overtime. Byron later told FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass that he “just got loose.”
