Tyler Reddick won Sunday’s Autotrader 400 at EchoPark Speedway without a right-front fender on his No. 45 Toyota.
The Daytona 500 winner became just the sixth driver in NASCAR Cup Series history and the first since Matt Kenseth in 2009 to win the first two races in a Cup Series season.
“I mean, that’s crazy,” Reddick told Fox Sports. “This place, over the years, man, it just puts on some amazing racing. I guess determination outweighs handling. We were back there in 30th after we got collected with the 11. I just found a way to kind of get back in the top-five.”
Reddick was involved in a crash with 37 laps to go, but rallied to put himself in a position to win in overtime. After his teammate in Bubba Wallace was shuffled from the lead, Reddick held off Chase Briscoe to score his 10th career Cup win and his first at Atlanta.
