NASCAR Autotrader 400 takeaways: Tyler Reddick joins exclusive list with EchoPark Speedway win

Even more impressive, Reddick won the race without a right-front fender after he was caught up in a multi-car crash with 37 laps remaining. It was a monumental day for the 23XI Racing organization co-owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, winning back-to-back races for the first time and currently sitting 1-2 in points with Reddick leading the way over Bubba Wallace.

Reddick went the entire 2025 season without recording a win, but he has quickly put that behind him with a historic start to the season.

Carson Hocevar comes up short once again

The two-time Cup Series runner-up was close to his first win on Sunday, but it was a repeat of last season with Hocevar falling short at EchoPark Speedway.

From his unsuccessful aggressive move to go between Wallace and Christopher Bell on the OT restart to his inability to put any runs together on the final lap after fading to fifth, Hocevar came away empty-handed.

After a fourth-place finish, Hocevar is still searching for that first win. However, after putting everything on the line to win the Autotrader 400, it is just a matter of time before he finally claims that elusive win and goes on a tear.

EchoPark Speedway continues to deliver great racing

Since the 1.54-mile track just outside of Atlanta was reconfigured as a drafting-style track ahead of the 2022 season, it has consistently put on arguably the best racing in the series.

While the majority of the field was involved in a crash at some point, drivers were mostly side-by-side and even three- and four-wide throughout the race, making aggressive slingshot moves and dicing it up for the lead from the drop of the green flag.

With a track-record 57 lead changes among 14 drivers, EchoPark added another thrilling race since its reconfiguration. It was not the cleanest race by any means, but it was the latest reminder of the incredible racing the track can put on.
