With Back Against Wall, Reddick Snatches Kansas Win From Larson In Overtime

Incredible, that’s all there is to say about Tyler Reddick after the driver scored his fifth win through the opening nine races of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season. In Sunday’s AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway, Reddick overcame the odds twice in the closing laps on his way to yet another win.

Reddick, who held the lead over Denny Hamlin as the final laps of regulation were winding down, scraped the wall, and had the motor burping with a dwindling fuel load. This allowed Hamlin to take the lead.

As Hamlin was coming back to the white flag, and a sure win, Cody Ware spun and brought out the caution. This gave Reddick new life.

On the overtime restart, Reddick, Hamlin, and Christopher Bell made contact, which seemingly handed the win to Kyle Larson. However, Reddick somehow wasn’t done. He charged down and caught Larson down the backstretch, and made an incredible pass for the lead in Turns 3 and 4 on the final lap to score the win.

Larson finished second, Chase Briscoe was third, and Hamlin, who was very disappointed, ended up fourth.

UPDATED CHASE GRID (17 Races Until Chase)

With 17 races left until the Chase for the NASCAR Cup begins, Tyler Reddick continues to strengthen his hold on the regular-season championship lead with his fifth win.

This week, Chase Briscoe made a major move with his third-place finish and is now inside the 16-driver Chase Grid, while Shane van Gisbergen, who finished 36th, has fallen outside of contention for now.

Daniel Suarez is the final driver inside the Grid and holds a 13-point advantage over Austin Cindric.
