DARLINGTON, S.C. – Tyler Reddick emerged victorious in a battle with brake and battery issues during Sunday’s Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway, winning his fourth race of 2026.

Reddick’s crew chief, Billy Scott, employed an aggressive strategy, splitting the final stint in half. He stopped on lap 246 and exited the pit lane in seventh, handing Brad Keselowski control of the race. Reddick caught Keselowski and completed the pass exiting turn two with 28 to go.

“I was willing to give up everything to have a shot at winning this race,” Reddick said. “I’ve wanted to win here for so, so long.”

Reddick started on pole and reported low voltage in his No. 45 Toyota Camry when crossing a bump exiting turn two. He turned off his cooling systems while the team diagnosed the issue.

“The final 100 laps were brutally hot,” Reddick said. “To fight through that was not easy.”

Reddick’s crew replaced the battery under caution after the first stage, and Reddick advanced into fifth by the end of stage two. Reddick’s race nearly ended in stage three as Chris Buescher pitted from second. The two collided but managed to save their cars, with Buescher slapping the wall.

“When he darted to the left, when I was darting to the left,” Reddick said. “I don’t know if he waved or not. If he didn’t wave, I get it, because he’s not trying to broadcast to me he’s going to pit because maybe I pit with him.”

Buescher regained control of his Ford but lost a shot at the victory.

“I hit the brake, but I was up his back bumper,” Reddick said. “I just completely ran him over.”

Buescher's teammate, Keselowski, swept the stages and led a race-high 142 laps. A second-place finish moved Keselowski up seven spots in the standings.

“Second place, first place loser,” Keselowski said. “But that’s okay.”

Keselowski said that the team made the most of the weekend with the car they brought.

“We didn’t have the best car today. Not compared to Tyler,” Keselowski said. “Tyler drove a hell of a race, and he’s driving a rocket, and he’s making it count right now.”

Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing honored the late Greg Biffle with throwback paint schemes. Each of the RFK Fords carried colors from throughout Biffle’s 16-year Cup Series career.

“It’s really cool to have a great group of cars running up front,” Kesloski said. “I put a nice right-sided stripe on the car. I think that would make Greg proud. If you know Greg, you’ll understand that one.”

Long-run Ryan Blaney charged through the field after two setbacks on pit road. The Phoenix winner restarted 21st with 91 laps remaining and clawed back to third place.

“I thought we had good speed,” Blaney said. “Especially long run speed.”

Pit road proved to be the only blemish on Blaney’s weekend.

“Yeah, just stuff we got to work on, pit road,” Blaney said. Hopefully, we’ll get better at that, address the issues that we got, and go forward. But that’s really all we can do.”
