Watch: Tyler Reddick makes wild last-lap pass to win NASCAR playoff race in Miami

Homestead-Miami Speedway hardly ever disappoints, and it gave NASCAR fans another classic finish on Sunday.

A late caution flag for a spinning Kyle Larson bunched the field back up for one final restart, and for several laps, it looked like Denny Hamlin would snag the win.

After Hamlin was passed for the lead by Ryan Blaney, however, Tyler Reddick got around Hamlin for the second spot, giving him one more opportunity in the final corner to make his move.

Reddick did exactly that, making an incredible pass to get around Blaney and win the race.

INSANITY!!

The win punched Reddick's ticket to the Championship Four and earned quite a reaction from Michael Jordan.

The move looked eerily similar to Reddick's move in last Sunday's race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where Reddick tried to fill a vacant gap before being hit and sent spinning and flipping down the front stretch.

This week, the move paid off in the biggest way possible. The win is Reddick's third of the 2024 season and his first since Michigan on Aug. 19.

The NASCAR Cup Series will end its Round of 8 next Sunday (Nov. 3) at the Martinsville Speedway, where Blaney won last fall.
