NASCAR's regular season champion Tyler Reddick was having a strong run at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with the Stage 1 win already in the bag until lap 89, when his 2024 Cup Series Championship hopes suffered a literal twist of fate.
It was on the restart — Reddick made a run on the outside to go three-wide with Chase Elliott and Martin Truex Jr. beneath him through Turns 3 and 4. Battling for fourth position on track, Truex drifted up on corner exit, putting Elliott in a difficult position. He tried to lift, but it was too late. The Hendrick Motorsports star made contact with the charging Reddick and both drivers spun down the track. They moved across the front stretch, collecting Brad Keselowski and all three cars spun out of control through the infield grass.
