Tyler Reddick Wins 2026 Daytona 500 in Dramatic Last‑Lap Finish

Posted : 17 February 2026

Tyler Reddick emerged as the winner of the 2026 Daytona 500 after a dramatic finish at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday, securing perhaps the most coveted prize in NASCAR with a thrilling final‑lap charge.

Reddick, driving the No. 45 Toyota for 23XI Racing, made a decisive pass on the last circuit to leap past leaders and cross the finish line first in the 68th running of the Great American Race.

The victory was historic on multiple levels. It marked Reddick’s first Daytona 500 win and ended a 38‑race winless streak dating back to the 2024 season, while also delivering the first Daytona 500 triumph for 23XI Racing, the team co‑owned by NBA legend Michael Jordan and NASCAR star Denny Hamlin.

Jordan, celebrating in Victory Lane, likened the moment to winning a championship, calling the achievement “unbelievable.”

Reddick’s triumph came amid chaos on the final lap, with multiple contenders caught up in crashes that opened the door for his move into the lead.

The California‑born driver capitalized on the chaos to take command of the race’s most prestigious finish, edging out competitors such as Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Joey Logano for the victory.
 

His emotional win provided a dramatic kick‑off to the NASCAR season and underscored the resilience of both Reddick and the 23XI Racing organization.
