Starting from 26th position, Reddick capitalized on chaos during the final lap when leader Carson Hocevar was knocked out of contention. The No. 45 driver then overtook Chase Elliott in the final turn while avoiding another crash behind him, with teammate Riley Herbst making way at the finish line.
This victory marks the first Daytona 500 win for both Reddick and the Jordan co-owned 23XI Racing team. The race featured multiple incidents including 'The Big One' on Lap 124 that Reddick avoided. The Cup Series now heads to Atlanta Motor Speedway for the Autotrader 400 on February 22.
