Overview
- Starting from the pole, Reddick overcame an alternator and battery failure plus a cool-suit outage, requiring a battery change, a pit-road penalty, and in-car power conservation.
- He took the lead on lap 266 with 28 to go and won by 5.847 seconds, leading 77 laps to secure his first Darlington triumph and 12th career Cup win.
- Keselowski led a race-high 142 laps and swept both stages but pitted four laps earlier than Reddick and finished second, with Ryan Blaney third, Carson Hocevar fourth, and Austin Cindric fifth.
- The Goodyear 400 featured only four cautions—the fewest at Darlington since a rain-shortened 1999 event—as increased tire wear emphasized strategy and tire management over attrition.
- With 325 points after six races, Reddick now leads Blaney by 95 in the standings as the series heads to Martinsville on March 29; 23XI Racing’s season win total stands at four.
