After winning the opening stage by staying out, Tyler Reddick restarted deep in the field for Stage 2. When Austin Dillon spun in the tight Turn 7 just ahead, Reddick was entering the corner too hot and started to slide out of control. Reddick was slowed by slamming doors with his car owner and fellow Toyota driver Denny Hamlin, an act that lifted the No. 45 23XI Racing Toyota completely off the ground and bending a toelink.
"Yeah, I thought I was gonna flip," said Reddick post-race. "I think I was behind the No. 19 [Martin Truex Jr.] just trying to work the move to the inside. I got clear of him -- I saw the No. 3 [Dillon] spun and everybody was on the binders coming to a stop. Of course, me and my boss [Hamlin] get together. Felt like I was gonna do a front flip -- this thing was absolutely destroyed. Just real hats off to everybody on this Monster Energy Camry. This thing couldn't go four seconds of what the pace was. And we just kept working on it and we made it a lot better for Stage 3."
