The second-to-last caution with four laps to go wiped away the three-second-plus lead that Tyler Reddick had built at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday — but it ultimately didn’t matter.
The No. 8 driver emerged from that restart unscathed —despite a cascade of carnage crumbling behind him — and eventually commanded the final restart and cruised to a Verizon 200 overtime win.
And based on how he ran that race? He deserved it: The 26-year-old driver led a race-best 39 laps before kissing the storied bricks at the Brickyard.
