The Winner Is…How The Race Was Won One Big Moment Full results

Tyler Reddick opened the 2026 NASCAR season on a three-race win streak, and the winless streak that ensued didn’t match that. The No. 45 car raced to victory again on Sunday, taking home the checkered flag at the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Speedway in Darlington, South Carolina.

Reddick opened Sunday’s race in pole position and appeared likely to have another strong showing early on. He led for over half of Stage 1 before multiple issues with his car caused him to fall back a bit.

One of the issues Reddick dealt with was a cool suit malfunction, which took place early on in Stage 3. However, that didn’t deter him as he was able to regain the lead with just under 30 laps remaining. He never relinquished it, racing to his fourth victory in six races this season.

Brad Keselowski, who dominated the middle portions of the race and won the first two stages, finished second after leading for 142 of the race’s 293 laps. Ryan Blaney came in third, while Carson Hocevar‘s late push helped him finish fourth.

The Winner Is…

Tyler Reddick and Team 23XI have had a fantastic 2026 so far, winning four of the first six races. Reddick took the checkered flag at Daytona, Atlanta and COTA. Then he held off the field to cross the finish line first at Darlington.

Reddick closed as the favorite to win at +300. On the oddsboard, he was followed by Kyle Larson and Denny Hamlin.

How The Race Was Won

Tyler Reddick endured battery issues at Darlington, but that wasn’t enough to hold back the driver of the No. 45 car.

He ended up leading the final 28 laps on Sunday and led 77 laps on the entire day. In the end, Reddick’s margin of victory was 5.847 seconds over Brad Keselowski to win the day.
