Tyler Reddick led the 2026 Daytona 500 for just one lap, and that was all he needed to claim victory in the 'Great American Race.' The No. 45 car was able to outlast some chaos on the final lap, which saw leader Carson Hocevar get knocked out of the leader's spot when a crash occurred.
Reddick, who was in fourth at the time of the incident, still needed to get around Chase Elliott entering the final turn.
