Tyler Reddick secured his sixth victory of the year at Phoenix Raceway during the Freeway Insurance 500 on Oct. 18. Motorsport.com reports that Reddick took control of the race following an aggressive four-wide pass on the final restart, eventually passing Chase Briscoe using fresh right-side tires.
According to Yahoo Sports, Kyle Larson finished 34th after spending most of the day outside the top 20 and scoring zero stage points. Denny Hamlin finished 28th after a flat tire under green with fewer than 100 laps remaining and a subsequent poorly-timed caution caused him to lose a lap.
Following the race, Larson remains the points leader with 2,370 points, maintaining a five-point lead over Christopher Bell. Chase Briscoe sits third in the standings, followed by Denny Hamlin in fourth.
