Tyler Reddick took his first NASCAR Cup Series victory since switching to 23XI Racing at Circuit of the Americas, as F1 world champions Jenson Button and Kimi Raikkonen finished 18th and 29th respectively. Full report ⬇️
'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.
Reddick ended up claiming the win over Busch by 1.411 seconds to continue a remarkable turnaround after he began the season wrecking out of the first two races. The first incident of the race occurred on lap one, when 2012 Cup champion Brad Keselowski spun and collected Ty Dillon in Turn 20. The incident also collected Jimmie Johnson and Chris Buescher, with Dillon and seven-time Cup champion Johnson out as a result.
The race resumed on lap 16, with the race continuing under green after Larson spun Ryan Blaney's Penske Ford on the following tour. Most of the leaders pitted under the third caution, prompted when Hamlin spun on lap 41 to spread gravel all over the track.
