Tyler Reddick of 23XI Racing won the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway. Reddick started the race from first and was one of the top contenders. In the first stage, Reddick lost the lead to Denny Hamlin after four laps and then eventually lost second place to Kyle Larson. Reddick ended the first stage in third and scored eight stage points. In the second stage, Reddick made it up to second behind Larson, who took the lead from Hamlin, but Hamlin then took second back. Reddick then finished the stage in third, earning eight more stage points. The final stage saw Reddick compete with Hamlin and Christopher Bell throughout the stage, especially as Reddick chased both drivers down for the lead. In the closing laps, Reddick exchanged the lead with Hamlin until a caution on lap 266 for Cody Ware spinning. This led to an overtime restart where Reddick lost a few positions after getting moved off track, but regained them all to chase down Larson on the final lap. Reddick passed Larson for his fifth win of the year in the final two corners. With his second Kansas victory, Reddick becomes the first driver to win five of the first nine races in a Cup season since 1987, when Dale Earnhardt accomplished the feat. The driver of the No. 45 Toyota also extends his lead in the regular-season points standings to 105 points ahead of Hamlin.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller
