Post-race inspection in the NASCAR Cup Series garage following Sunday's Freeway Insurance 500 at Phoenix Raceway is complete, and there were no issues. This means Tyler Reddick and his No. 45 23XI Racing team are the official winners of the race. Reddick, who won five of the opening nine races of the season, took his first win since the ninth race of the campaign.
Reddick, 30, now has 14 career victories in the NASCAR Cup Series. The latest came in his 251st career start. The native of Corning, California, led the race just once, but once he took the lead with 18 laps remaining, he never looked back.
There were a total of 21 lead changes among 10 drivers in the race. Christopher Bell led the most laps in the race, with 85 laps led. Joey Logano, the sixth-place finisher, won Stages 1 and 2 in the event.
Ryan Blaney earned a bonus point as he turned the Xfinity fastest lap of the race with a 27.101-second lap on Lap 2.
The race featured 6 cautions for 43 laps. Reddick's official margin of victory over Blaney was 0.801 seconds, and the race, which took 3 hours, 1 minute, and 23 seconds to complete, had an average speed of 103.207 mph.
