Tyler Reddick Converts Darlington Pole Into Fourth Win, Widens Cup Series Lead

The 23XI driver stretched his series lead to roughly 95 points with a resilient run at Darlington.

Overview

  • Starting from pole, Reddick used an offset pit sequence and fresher tires to pass Brad Keselowski with 28 laps left.
  • Keselowski swept the first two stages and led a race-high 142 laps before finishing second, with Ryan Blaney third.
  • Reddick overcame a failing alternator, a midrace battery swap and a nonfunctional cool suit to stay in contention.
  • The victory was his first at Darlington, where he led the final 28 laps and won by 5.847 seconds.
  • The result expands his Cup Series lead to about 95 points over Blaney and gives 23XI Racing a team-best fourth win in a single season; Chris Buescher’s team accepted blame for late pit-road contact.
