Tyler Reddick Makes NASCAR History With Third Straight Win to Open Season at COTA

He carries a roughly 70-point lead into Phoenix, where he will try to extend the streak.

Overview

  • Starting from pole at Circuit of The Americas, Reddick led a race-high 58 of 95 laps to secure the DuraMAX Texas Grand Prix.
  • He held off Shane van Gisbergen in the closing laps, snapping van Gisbergen’s road/street-course winning run dating to last season.
  • The win marks Reddick’s 11th career Cup victory and his second at COTA for 23XI Racing.
  • Co-owner Michael Jordan celebrated on pit road and credited Denny Hamlin’s team-building, saying he “just put up the money.”
  • 23XI’s surge comes after a December 2025 antitrust settlement with NASCAR that granted permanent charters, and Jordan says he will be in Phoenix as Reddick pursues a fourth straight win.
