The Latest Breaking News from Tyler Reddick

Briscoe very nearly won the Cup race at the Bristol Dirt Track last year, spinning in the final corner after colliding with Tyler Reddick.

The fight for victory sparked into life after Noah Gragson slammed the outside wall, forcing the sixth caution of the race, which saw all the lead-lap cars pit with Martin Truex Jr retaining the lead off pitroad.

The final 10 laps of the Cup event won by Tyler Reddick took almost an hour to complete, with a trio of overtime restarts required following a series of Turn 1 multi-car pileups after restarts, which resulted in car and tyre damage causing cautions for debris.

Based strictly on results, the start of the 2023 NASCAR Cup season appeared to be a rough one.

Toyota driver Reddick and poleman William Byron's Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet spent much of Sunday's race trading the lead, but the former Richard Childress Racing man moved out front for the final time on lap 64 of what was originally scheduled as a 68-lap race.

With a multitude of wrecks and the race sent into three two-lap overtimes, Busch had crawled his way up to second on the final restart of Sunday’s race and with an opportunity to challenge leader Tyler Reddick for the win.

Still three months away, drivers at the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, were already peeking at the first-of-its-kind race for NASCAR.

Reddick was the dominant driver all day, and led a race-high 41 laps. It was his first victory as a 23XI Racing driver, beating Kyle Busch in the car Reddick used to drive.

Raikkonen and Button, the F1 world champions of 2007 and 2009, will start 22nd and 24th respectively for the first NASCAR road course of the season, while sportscar racer Jordan Taylor starred on his first outing subbing for the injured Chase Elliott at Hendrick Motorsports by setting the fourth-quickest time.
