'By the time I realized I was in trouble, it was just too late,' said the Stage 1-winning driver for 23XI Racing.
Tyler Reddick won the opening stage at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, only for his race to go upside down moments later -- literally. On lap 89, Reddick had a run on the outside and made it three-wide with Chase Elliott and Martin Truex Jr. beneath him. They drifted up and contact was made between Elliott and Reddick, leading both drivers to crash. As they moved across the track, Brad Keselowski was collected, and all three cars spun out of control through the infield grass.
Defending champ Blaney went multiple laps down and Elliott went to the garage for extensive repairs after meeting minimum speed. 'You just gotta be aggressive on restarts,' said Reddick after being released from the infield care center. 'It's how this Next Gen racing has been since the beginning. I kind of saw them both have a moment and I had just a split second to make a decision. You gotta be aggressive. You gotta try and get those spots back on a restart.
