Overview
- Reddick edged Chase Briscoe by 0.164 seconds after two overtime restarts to claim the Autotrader 400 at EchoPark Speedway.
- He led a race-high 53 laps and became the sixth driver to start a Cup season 2-0, the first since Matt Kenseth in 2009.
- The No. 45 Toyota finished the race missing its right-front fender after Reddick was caught in a Lap 224 crash with multiple cars.
- The event set a track record with 57 lead changes, featured a Lap 256 Turn 3 pileup that prompted a red flag, and a first-overtime incident when Carson Hocevar spun Christopher Bell.
- Rain scrapped Saturday qualifying, so NASCAR’s metric awarded Reddick the pole; Wallace won Stage 2 and finished eighth as the series heads to Circuit of the Americas on March 1.
