Tyler Reddick wheeled a wounded Toyota past a chaotic double overtime and into victory lane at Echopark Motor Speedway, starting the year with back-to-back victories Sunday, Feb. 22.

With the Jumpman logo pinned to his firesuit, Reddick rebounded from a wreck on lap 223 like NBA legend and co-owner Michael Jordan. Chase Briscoe pushed Reddick past Carson Hocevar approaching the white and held the lead all while missing the right front fender from his No. 45 Toyota.

“How about that Echopark Speedway?” Reddick said to the crowd after treating them to a reverse burnout. “This place over the years, man, it just puts on some amazing racing and handling matters here, but I don't know. I guess determination outweighs handling.”

The Daytona 500 champion emerged from an 11-car wreck leading into NASCAR Overtime and barely missed a wreck during the first attempt. But before that, he was trapped deep in the pack.

“We were back there in 30th after we got collected with the 11,” Reddick said, referencing his involvement in a multi-car incident with co-owner Denny Hamlin early in the third stage.

“It was definitely really loose,” Reddick said. “We were able to make a little bit of adjustment on it with the aero and whatnot. And I don't know. I mean, they just kept stacking up in the middle and top lanes, and I just found a way to kind of get back in the top five.”

Reddick joined an exclusive list of six other drivers to win the season’s first two events, and is the first since Matt Kenseth in 2009.

“Tyler did an unbelievable job,” Jordan said. “Both teams did an unbelievable job.”

Jordan celebrated in victory lane for the second-straight weekend.

“This is the fruit of their labor,” Jordan said of the 23XI Racing program. “They put forth the effort. And for us to come out and win the first two races said a lot about our whole team.”

This was the 12th win for 23XI, and the career win No. 10 for Reddick. Each of Reddick’s triumphs has come at different tracks, and he has now won on all three drafting ovals.

Teammate Bubba Wallace ran up front all race long and scored a stage win for the second time this season. However, Wallace tried to block Hocevar, got shuffled back, and fell short again.

“I'm just pumped that Toyota still got to victory lane,” Wallace said after finishing eighth. 

According to Wallace, he didn’t realize how much room Reddick and Hocevar had, and said he would need to go back to rewatch the closing laps. Overall, he was proud of his team's effort.

“What a race car we had today,” Wallace said. “I learned a lot from Rajah yesterday. He had a bad, fast car, and he finished second his first stage and won the second stage, just like me.”

And I was like, this car is so fast. Don't do anything to jeopardize a good finish. And I hate that we didn't get the win. But all in all, appreciate Xfinity. Man, what could have been.”

The two 23XI Racing drivers currently sit first and second in the points.

Hocevar found himself in contention for the win as the white flag waved for the second week in a row. The Spire Motorsports driver had no drafting help as the leaders took the white flag and fell back to fourth when the checkered flag fell.

“I choked,” Hocevar said. “I guess we’re really, really good this year at just getting to the white flag leading.”

He rallied back from two laps down due to a flat tire in stage one to finish inside the top five, but ruffled some feathers in the process. Hocevar caused the final caution of the night, spinning Christoper Bell from the race lead during the first Overtime. 

“I was taking every run,” Hocevar said. “I’m sure I owe people apologies, but I think we’re all going for spaces and runs and everything.”

Sunday was not a highlight in the Kyle and Kyle show, as Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson ended their day in the garage. Busch, who won Saturday’s Truck race, spun into the backstretch wall after a push from Noah Gragson on lap 124. 

On the last lap of stage two, Larson went down from the top lane into Shane Van Gisbergen and crashed hard into the front stretch wall. Larson took the blame for the incident afterward.

Austin Cindric won stage one, his fifth stage victory at Echopark, but was involved in a wreck with four laps to go.

On Sunday, Mar. 1, NASCAR begins a West Coast swing with a stop in Austin, Texas. Circuit of the Americas will play host to the DuraMax Grand Prix at 3:30 p.m. ET on Fox Sports and PRN.
