Tyler Reddick made NASCAR history Sunday.

Reddick earned his third consecutive win to open the 2026 NASCAR Cup season. The victory made him the first driver in the history of NASCAR to win the first three races of a new season. He won Daytona, Atlanta, and now COTA.

23XI Racing, co-owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, is also the first team to win the first three races of the year since Petty Enterprises did it back in 1963.

Reddick also further cemented himself atop the championship standings with Sunday’s win, crossing the finish line about four seconds ahead of Shane van Gisbergen, a driver Reddick has been trying to beat for a while now.

“It’s one race, but it’s so important, so fitting, to be able to get three in-a-row and make history,” Reddick said.
