After a late-race wreck took four Toyotas out of contention, Tyler Reddick escaped a last-lap melee to give the manufacturer an unexpected victory in Sunday’s NASCAR Cup race at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.
Reddick led on the white flag lap, but Brad Keselowski pushed Michael McDowell back out front and into the lead as the field went into Turns 1 and 2. Entering the tri-oval, McDowell blocked Keselowski in the outside lane and Keselowski dove to the inside. McDowell, just a step slow, tried to block that move as well but instead his No. 34 Ford got turned into the wall. As cars scattered throughout the infield from the wreck, Reddick drove by Keselowski and took the checkered flag by 0.
Kyle Larson was third, Austin Dillon fourth and Ross Chastain rounded out the top five. During a round of green flag pit stops late in the stage, Lajoie spun off the exit of pit road but was able to get re-fired and back on track without a caution. Stage 3 Following the break between Stages 2 and 3, most of the lead lap cars elected to pit with Logano first off pit road. Logano led Larson and Cindric when the race resumed with 62 laps remaining.
