NASCAR arrived at Michigan International Speedway, and it was a tough weekend for everyone. The sport was forced to cancel qualifying, delay the start of the NASCAR Cup Series event, only complete 51 laps on Sunday, and postpone the race to Monday. However, for one 23XI Racing driver, it was worth the wait.

[autotag]Tyler Reddick[/autotag] won the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan, earning his second victory of the 2024 NASCAR season. Reddick was cruising to victory before a late caution forced him to fend off William Byron during two overtimes. At the end of the day, the driver of the No. 45 car was too strong to beat.

Reddick now holds the Cup Series regular-season points leads with two races left. The 23XI Racing driver has been incredibly strong over the last 10 races and has created significant momentum going into the playoffs. If this trend continues, Reddick will be one of the championship favorites in November.
