Tyler Reddick was able to extend his NASCAR Cup Series point lead with his second consecutive race win to begin the 2026 campaign. Reddick led a race-high 53 laps in Sunday's Autotrader 400 at EchoPark Speedway, and as Bubba Wallace and Carson Hocevar got into each other, Reddick was able to cruise to the victory.

Reddick will carry a 40-point advantage into next weekend's race at Circuit of the Americas, on the strength of his wins in the Autotrader 400 and Daytona 500 in back-to-back weekends.

Bubba Wallace sits second in the championship standings, while Chase Elliott (-44), Carson Hocevar (-51), and Zane Smith (-54) are the rest of the top-five in the standings.

Shane van Gisbergen is the final driver above the "Chase" cutline, as he holds a one-point advantage over Kaulig Racing's Ty Dillon for the 16th spot in the standings.
