Tyler Reddick secured his first career victory at Talladega in a dramatic finish to the NASCAR Cup Series GEICO 500, driving a Michael Jordan-owned vehicle. In the final 500 yards, Michael McDowell was turned by Brad Keselowski in the tri-oval, leading to a multi-car crash. Reddick maneuvered through the chaos to win, followed by Keselowski and Noah Gragson. This marks Reddick's sixth career win and his first since last fall at Kansas. The race was noted for its wild finish as leaders wrecked just before the checkered flag.
