It is Tyler Reddick’s world and we are just living in it. Reddick and the No. 45 team for 23XI Racing won the DuraMAX Texas Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas, earning their third victory of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season. The driver of the No. 23 car held off Shane van Gisbergen after the final restart.
Reddick is the first driver in Cup Series history to win the first three races of a NASCAR season. Reddick won the Daytona 500 and the race at EchoPark Speedway over the last two weeks before adding COTA to his resume in 2026. Now, the 23XI Racing driver has extended his points lead even further.
It has been a historic start to the 2026 NASCAR season for Reddick, who hopes to add his name to a prestigious list of drivers to win four straight Cup Series events. While van Gisbergen is the king of road course racing, Reddick’s No. 45 car had more speed, leading him back to victory lane.
