Tyler Reddick Three-Peats at COTA
Tyler Reddick just secured his third straight victory for 23XI Racing at the DuraMax Texas Grand Prix at COTA — a NASCAR three-peat that's got the garage talking. The win extends 23XI's hot streak and solidifies Reddick as the driver to beat on road courses this season.
This victory marks the first time in NASCAR's 78-year history that a driver has won the first three races of the season. The win at COTA followed victories at Daytona and Atlanta, showcasing Reddick's versatility on different types of tracks after a winless 2025 season. The No. 45 Toyota, co-owned by NBA legend Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, was dominant throughout the race. Reddick started from the pole position and led a race-high 58 of the 95 laps on the 2.4-mile, 20-turn road course. To secure the win, Reddick had to fend off Shane van Gisbergen, a road-course specialist who had won five of the six road course races in 2025. This victory snapped van Gisbergen's winning streak and prevented him from tying Jeff Gordon's record of six consecutive road-course victories. This was Reddick's 11th career Cup Series victory and his second at the Circuit of the Americas, with his first coming in 2023. He is the first driver to have multiple victories at COTA since the series began racing there in 2021. The historic win gives Reddick a commanding 70-point lead in the driver standings over his 23XI Racing teammate, Bubba Wallace. This strong start positions him well for a championship run under the full-season points system reinstated for 2026.
