7 months agoTyler Reddick ended the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway in the 32nd position, two laps down after he dominated much of the race. Starting from the pole, Reddick commanded the race for 37 laps before losing ground during green flag pit stops and finishing the first stage in fourth. Despite several cautions causing many pit stops during the second stage, Reddick would stay at the front and continue his dominance. After winning stage two, Reddick controlled the race until lap traffic made Brad Keselowski pass him. Reddick failed to regain the lead until pit stops during a lap 254 caution where Kyle Larson crashed. The driver of the No. 45 Toyota dueled with Keselowski for four laps before Chris Buescher stole the lead from both drivers. Reddick ran down Buescher 20 laps later and dived under the No. 17 Ford driver. Due to contact between the two drivers, Reddick had a flat tire one lap later, ending his chance to win after leading the most laps (174). Despite the disappointing finish, Reddick's strong performance to that point made him the fourth-highest scorer in DraftKings contests this week. As the NASCAR Cup Series heads to North Wilkesboro for the All-Star race, Reddick should be one of the top drivers to compete for the win, as he placed third in last year's event at the site.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller
