Tyler Reddick won the NASCAR Xfinity Series’ SRS Distribution 250 at Texas Motor Speedway Saturday, May 21.
He took the No. 48 of Big Machine Racing to its first Xfinity victory and Reddick’s 10th in his career.
A trio of JR Motorsports teammates, William Byron, Sam Mayer and Justin Allgaier, placed second, third and fourth, respectively. Austin Hill rounded out the top five.
Ryan Truex, Josh Berry, Riley Herbst, AJ Allmendinger and Landon Cassill completed the top 10.
Noah Gragson led the bulk of stage one, briefly losing the lead to JR Motorsports teammate Justin Allgaier when Patrick Emerling slid up in front of the No. 9. The caution flag waved right after for Ryan Vargas, who appeared to blow an engine.
The No. 9 took the lead on the ensuing restart and maintained it through the next two cautions, brought out by a couple of CJ McLaughin spins. During the first caution, Daniel Hemric pitted for repairs after he hit the wall. The second caution ended stage one, and as cars slowed down, Ty Gibbs got tagged by Jeb Burton in the left rear and spun as well.
Some cars pitted before the stage break, allowing them to start stage two ahead of Gragson, Brandon Jones and Allgaier. A third JRM driver, Josh Berry, grabbed the first position right away over Tyler Reddick. But the yellow flag flew once again on lap 56, this time for Sheldon Creed, who hit the wall in turn 4. The No. 2 Richard Childress Racing car suffered major rear-end damage as a result.
But Berry kept the lead on the way to the win in stage two, holding off charges from Allgaier, Reddick and William Byron.
On the following restart, mayhem ensued. Berry got loose racing side-by-side with Allgaier on the front row and skidded down the track. As cars checked up, Gragson and Gibbs spun around and hit the outside wall, while Matt Mills slammed into Berry further back.
