Tyler Reddick Wins Atlanta Cup Race in Double Overtime Comeback | NASCAR Results
Tyler Reddick secured his second consecutive NASCAR Cup Series victory on Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway, winning the Autotrader 400 in a dramatic double-overtime finish. The win marks the first time a driver has opened a season with back-to-back wins since 2009.
The race was characterized by a record number of lead changes, with over a dozen different drivers vying for the top spot. Reddick’s triumph was particularly remarkable given a significant mid-race incident where he was involved in a wreck and sustained damage to his right-front fender. Despite the setback, he battled back to claim the checkered flag.
Reddick’s victory completed a 1-2 finish for Toyota, with Chase Briscoe finishing in second place. Ross Chastain, Carson Hocevar, and Daniel Suarez rounded out the top five. The result represents a strong start to the season for Toyota Racing.
Shane van Gisbergen, competing in the Cup Series, also demonstrated resilience, rebounding from two spins during the race to achieve his best-ever oval finish in the series. His performance highlights his growing adaptation to the demands of NASCAR’s premier division.
The race featured a significant wreck in Stage 2, with Tyler Reddick providing an in-car view of the incident. Despite the chaos, Reddick was able to continue, ultimately capitalizing on the opportunity to secure the win.
Reddick is currently on a victory tour following his Daytona 500 win, adding to the momentum of his strong start to the 2026 season.
