Tyler Reddick tops Kyle Larson in OT for 5th Cup Series win
Published on April 19, 2026.
Tyler Reddick won his fifth consecutive NASCAR Cup Series race, becoming the fourth driver to win five of the first nine races in a season, marking the first since Dale Earnhardt nearly four decades ago. He passed Kyle Larson on the final lap of overtime at Kansas Speedway. Chase Briscoe and Denny Hamlin finished third and fourth respectively. The race had been caution-free except for stage breaks until a late caution for Cody Ware's spin in the final laps. Toyota became the first manufacturer since 2007 to win seven consecutive races in the season. The win made Reddick the first to do so from the pole position since Earnhardt in 1987.
