Tyler Reddick won Sunday’s (April 19) NASCAR Cup Series AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway, passing Kyle Larson for the lead on the final lap after an overtime restart.
Reddick restarted second on the outside of Denny Hamlin, but the race appeared to be Larson’s to lose after Hamlin, Reddick and Christopher Bell all made contact with a lap and a half left. That was until Reddick drove back to Larson’s bumper and scooted around him to score his fifth win of 2026.
Reddick had previously lost the lead to Hamlin during the final long run of the race after running out of fuel and tagging the wall.
“Just really blessed with the late caution,” Reddick told FOX. “Was that nuts or what? I couldn’t believe it. I mean, first off, I feel like I have to say obviously just for how I feel. I never like being on the inside of it. Man, these late race restarts get crazy. I obviously had a run on the 5. I was shocked I was able to get to his inside there. An incredible SupplyHouse Toyota Camry all day long.”
23XI co-owner Michael Jordan celebrated with Reddick on the frontstretch.
“This kid is on fire,” Jordan said. “I don’t know if I can cool him down. He is unbelievable. Unbelievable last couple laps. I’m proud of the whole team. When you win, it’s always fun. Right now it’s fun for everybody at 23XI. Me being here and being able to see all the wins, I am so happy for the team. I just think we need to continually build on this, without a doubt.”
A spinning Cody Ware brought out the yellow flag with two laps to go, sending the race into overtime. Hamlin then beat the field off of pit road, leading it to the green flag in overtime. Ware’s spin was the only natural caution of the afternoon.
Larson, Chase Briscoe, Hamlin, Bubba Wallace, Brad Keselowski, William Byron, Chase Elliott, Ty Gibbs and Chris Buescher rounded out the top 10 finishers.
Hamlin took the lead from Bell and Reddick on the final green flag run after pitting before both drivers during the final round of green flag pit stops. A good pit stop after stage two gave Bell the top spot over Hamlin.
