Reddick rolls in OT, wins fifth Cup Series race
Tyler Reddick became just the fourth driver to win five of the first nine NASCAR Cup Series races in a season, and the first since Dale Earnhardt nearly four decades ago, when he passed Kyle Larson on the final lap of overtime at Kansas Speedway Sunday.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- NASCAR driver Tyler Reddick is riding the kind of Cup Series hot streak that Michael Jordan once enjoyed in his playing days. Oh, you can bet the NBA Hall of Famer is enjoying this one, too.
"This kid is on fire. I don't know what to say. I don't think I can cool him down," Jordan said. "When you win, it's always fun, and right now it's fun for everybody at 23XI. Me being here and being able to see all the wins, I am so happy for the team."
All four of the 23XI cars finished in the top 15 on a banner day for the team.
"Got to deliver for the boss man," Reddick said of Jordan. "If he's going to come hang out with us, we have to get him dubs."
Sunday's race had been caution-free except for stage breaks until Cody Ware spun as the white flag was about to fly.
