NASCAR AdventHealth 400 takeaways: Tyler Reddick joins exclusive list after OT win at Kansas

As one of four Toyotas in the top five, Reddick led the charge for a manufacturer that has won seven of the first nine races of the season — the first to do so since Chevrolet in 2007. Toyota continues to flex its muscle, but Reddick is leading the charge after his latest performance at Kansas.

Denny Hamlin comes away empty-handed at Kansas again

Hamlin has a track-record four wins in the "Sunflower State" and dominated Sunday's race. After getting put three-wide in the middle after an inside move to the apron from Larson on the OT restart, Hamlin could only recover to fourth.

That is his ninth top 10 at Kansas in the last 10 races, but the 2023 spring race is his only win during that span. Sunday was just the latest example of another missed opportunity in the heartland for Hamlin.

Chase Briscoe, William Byron take advantage of late caution

Briscoe struggled to stay inside the top 10 late in the race, while Byron once again was a non-factor as he continues to find the right balance in his No. 24 Chevrolet. They at least made the most of the situation in OT and came away with solid finishes.

With four fresh tires underneath them, Briscoe drove all the way up to third and Byron managed to salvage a seventh-place finish. It was not the day that either of them wanted, but the two-lap dash at the end worked out.

Christopher Bell's day takes a turn for the worse in OT finish

Until he lost the lead after the final set of green-flag stops, Bell was in the driver's seat to win his first Kansas race. Even in OT, he had a massive run off of Turn 2 on the restart before Reddick clipped his left rear. That sent Bell into the outside wall and dashed any hopes he had of contending for the win.

With a 20th-place finish, Bell remains winless this season after appearing to be in the best position during the final stage. Unlike fellow Toyota driver Reddick, Bell came out on the losing end.
