Reddick Wins COTA to Start Season with 3 Straight Victories

23XI Racing's Tyler Reddick secured a historic victory at Circuit of the Americas, becoming the first driver in NASCAR Cup Series history to win three consecutive races to open the season.

Reddick dominated Sunday's race, leading 58 of the 95 laps to secure the checkered flag. The win marks a remarkable turnaround for the driver, who went winless in 2025 before starting 2026 with a dominant streak. Trackhouse Racing's Shane van Gisbergen, a road course specialist, finished behind Reddick after fading in the final stage.
