Tyler Reddick secured his first NASCAR Cup Series victory on Sunday, beating Chase Elliott at Road America.
Reddick led 16 of 62 laps in the "KwikTrip 250." He drove the No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet to his first victory at the 4.048-mile track, winning in his 92nd Cup Series start.
Elliott drove the No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet to second place, 3s304 behind at the checkered flag. Kyle Larson was third, with Ross Chastain fourth and Daniel Suarez fifth: all five of the top five drivers are Chevrolet drivers.
Elliott started from pole position and led 24 of the first 30 laps, but gave up winning segments by stopping before each break. This strategy put him back in the lead as soon as each pit cycle was completed and the second and final stages began.
Reddick took advantage right after the final round of pit stops, passing Elliott when he widened turn 5 with 17 laps remaining. He moved up to the lead on lap 47 after the round of scheduled stops was completed. Chase Briscoe, who started second, won Stage 1, and Ryan Blaney took the win in Stage 2.
