Kansas City, Kan. — On Sunday Tyler Reddick passed Kyle Larson on the final lap of overtime at Kansas Speedway to win the AdventHealth 400, completing his fifth victory in the first nine NASCAR Cup Series races of the season. The decisive pass followed a late caution after Cody Ware’s spin that sent the race into overtime. Kansas race officials recorded Reddick first to the checkered flag Sunday; Chase Briscoe finished third and Denny Hamlin finished fourth. Hamlin co-owns Reddick’s 23XI Racing entry with Michael Jordan. Team pit strategy and late restarts shaped the finish, and Reddick’s five wins are the most through nine races since Dale Earnhardt nearly four decades ago.
