Tyler Reddick Loses the Regular-Season Points Lead After Car Trouble at Sonoma
Tyler Reddick had high hopes for a good performance in the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway, but car problems derailed his day. Reddick started Sunday's race from the 11th position but struggled with the speed and handling of his car early. During the first stage, Reddick continued to lose positions at the start, and by the end of the first stage, he placed 30th and failed to earn stage points. By the end of the first stage, Reddick's car had completely lost power steering, and during the stage break, Reddick stopped on pit road while his team repaired and diagnosed the steering issues. After the repairs, Reddick was six laps down from the rest of the field and spent the rest of the race riding around and hoping for cautions to get back to the lead lap. By the end of the race, Reddick remained in the 36th and final position of the field and finished four laps down. As a result of this finish, Reddick is now exactly one point behind Denny Hamlin for the regular-season points lead, as he is second in the standings for the first time in the 2026 season after 18 races.
