Another week, another piece of history for Tyler Reddick.

The 23XI Racing driver continued his dominant start to the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season with an impressive win in the first road course race of the year at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.

Reddick became the first NASCAR driver to win the first three races of a season, and his latest win is a warning shot to the rest of the Cup Series field. Reddick has now won at Daytona, Atlanta and Austin – three different types of challenges.

With 23XI Racing co-owner Michael Jordan at track, Reddick took pole position and led the field away for the 96-lap DuraMAX Texas Grand Prix. He fell back to eighth during the middle of Stage 1 and gradually battled back to the front. He led 58 total laps in a race that featured 14 lead changes among nine different drivers.

Reddick’s win snapped Trackhouse Racing’s Shane van Gisbergen’s recent streak of dominance on non-ovals. van Gisbergen ahd won the last five races in that format in the Cup Series – all in 2025.

‘We get going at the end there and there’s [van Gisbergen],’ Reddick said after the race. ‘Being able to outlast him there and get the win means everything.’
