RACE RECAP
Tyler Reddick wheeled the No. 45 SupplyHouse Toyota from pole to Victory Lane at Kansas Speedway, nipping Kyle Larson by 0.118 seconds in overtime after a late-race caution rewrote the script. Between them, three drivers led 256 of the 274 laps run โ Denny Hamlin's race-high 131, Kyle Larson's 78, and Christopher Bell's 47 that came with the fastest lap of the day (29.925s). Reddick led ten, got the pole's track position when it mattered, and cleared to the high side on the overtime restart.
Hamlin swept to the Stage 1 trophy on the back of a 131-lap performance and looked every bit the Kansas specialist his rรฉsumรฉ says he is. Larson answered with Stage 2, running down the field in the second half through the green-flag cycle. Bell was quietly strong throughout โ his 47 laps led plus the fastest timed lap on the board never translated to position, the No. 20 cycled out of the top 15 on the final run and finished P20 despite looking like a top-5 car all afternoon.
The final stage belonged to Larson until a natural caution waved with two laps to go. The yellow reset the race, and on the overtime restart Reddick got the run off Turn 2, cleared to the high side down the backstretch, and held the No. 5 off by a fender in the dash to the stripe. Chase Briscoe โ who ran inside the top 10 all day and quietly banked a Stage 1 top-10 โ held on for a P3 that nobody projected. It's Reddick's fifth win in the first nine races of 2026.
