When calamity struck the lead pack on the final lap of the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, Tyler Reddick masterfully steered clear of the carnagefor his first win of the 2024 season.
Reddick, with the No. 45 Jordan Brand Toyota Camry XSE, was attempting a run from the outside lane off turn four with the checkered flag in the air. Then,contact between the top-two drivers caused the leader to crash and other front-runners to lose momentum. That opened the door for Reddick to speed by everyone and narrowly cross the finish line first. It was Reddick’s sixth career NASCAR Cup Series® win and his first at the 2.66-mile Talladega track.
