Tyler Reddick is a Daytona 500 champion.
Reddick passed Chase Elliott exiting Turn 4 on the final lap at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday to win his first Daytona 500. Reddick drives for 23XI Racing, the team co-owned by Michael Jordan.
Reddick passed Elliott, who then crashed into the outside wall before the finish line after Riley Herbst got turned into the wall.
Carson Hocevar was leading when the final lap began, but he too ended up crashed and into the outside wall.

Reddick was fourth when the final lap began but somehow avoided the wreck that took out Hocevar. He then ended up behind Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Chase Elliott on the backstretch as Zane Smith pushed Elliott to the lead.
But Elliott was hung out to dry in the final two corners. Reddick got a push from his teammate Herbst after zooming around Zane Smith and went around Elliott before the crash happened behind him as he took the checkered flag.
