**Autotrader 400 Results: Tyler Reddick, 23XI Prevail in OT to Win Back-to-Back Races**
Reddick WINS! 23XI Back-to-Back Victory SHOCKS NAS...
Sometimes, you see a performance that just screams dominance. And right now, that's exactly what Tyler Reddick is doing. Reddick, driving for 23XI Racing, pulled off a thrilling overtime victory at the Autotrader 400, marking his second consecutive win. It’s the kind of streak that gets people talking, and rightfully so. The win was a nail-biter, showcasing Reddick's skill and the ever-present unpredictability of NASCAR.
Entering the final two laps of overtime, Reddick was sitting in third position. Up ahead, Carson Hocevar and Reddick's own teammate, Bubba Wallace, were battling for the lead. Wallace, in a brief moment of glory, actually managed to grab the top spot during that overtime period. You could practically hear the cheers from the 23XI pit, but Reddick wasn't about to let a teammate win without a fight.
Reddick seized his opportunity at the start of the final lap, making a bold move to overtake Wallace. But it wasn't over yet. Chase Briscoe, driving the No. 45 car, mounted a serious challenge, pushing Reddick right to the finish line. The crowd was on its feet, witnessing a true drag race to the checkered flag. In the end, Reddick held him off, securing the victory and cementing his status as the man to beat right now.
The overtime drama was set up by a late-race incident involving William Byron, who spun out with just four laps remaining. Byron later explained to FOX Sports' Bob Pockrass that he "just got loose." It's a simple explanation for a complex sport where margins are thin and even the slightest mistake can have huge consequences. It's also a reminder of how quickly fortunes can change out there on the track.
Here’s a look at the top ten finishers: 1. Tyler Reddick, 2. Chase Briscoe, 3. Ross Chastain, 4. Carson Hocevar, 5. Daniel Suarez, 6. Shane Van Gisberg, 7. Zane Smith, 8. Bubba Wallace, 9. Ryan Preece, 10. Ryan Blaney. The full finishing order can be found elsewhere.
What's next? The 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season continues with the DuraMax Grand Prix Powered by RelaDyne at Circuits of the Americas in Austin, Texas. The race is scheduled for Sunday, March 1, at 3:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on FOX and the FOX Sports app. Given Reddick's current form, you can bet he'll be one to watch.
