Six races into the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series Season, Tyler Reddick has single-handedly matched 23XI Racing's single-season win record, finally taming The Lady in Black.

Reddick Wins Again, Adds Darlington to Early 2026 Success Jonathan Bachman - Getty Images After a two-week winless streak following his record-breaking three-race win streak to start the season, Tyler Reddick won the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway for his fourth win of the season on Sunday afternoon. This was Reddick's first win at Darlington following three runner-up finishes in his career. "I know never to give up," Reddick said in his post-race interview with Fox Sports.

"I think itโ€™s very fitting that when we finally get our first win at Darlington, 'The Lady in Black' would test us like that. " With four wins in six races this season, Reddick joins only NASCAR Hall of Famers Dale Earnhardt and Bill Elliott in his early-season success. Now sitting at 12 career wins, Reddick has increased his win total 50% through only six races.

Reddick started on pole next to his teammate Bubba Wallace, but his path to the victory lane was not straightforward as the No. 45 23XI Racing Toyota Camry had issues from the jump and, following the first pit halfway through the opening stage, suffered a failed alternator. Reddick long pitted on the first and final stages.

The long pit strategy wasn't helpful in the first stage with the No. 45 getting stuck on a jack. Reddick was fighting alternator problems throughout the first stage and had issues getting the car fired up on pit road after the long stop.
