Tyler Reddick Leads 23XI Racing Sweep of Darlington Front Row

There’s no question that 23XI Racing has been the biggest storyline of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series campaign, thus far, with drivers Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace holding the top-two spots in points.

Saturday at Darlington Raceway, that continued in an incredible way, as 23XI Racing was successful in locking down a sweep of the front row ahead of the Goodyear 400.

Reddick, after becoming the first driver in NASCAR Cup Series history to win the opening three events of a season, notched his second pole position of the year at the 1.366-mile racetrack in South Carolina.

His lap time of 29.072 seconds (169.152mph) was the fastest of the 37 drivers entered in the sixth NASCAR Cup Series event of the year, beating out his teammate, Wallace, by more than a tenth of a second.

It’s the 13th pole position for Reddick in the NASCAR Cup Series, eight of which have come during his time with 23XI Racing, the popular team owned by Denny Hamlin and NBA legend Michael Jordan.

Bubba Wallace, driving the No. 23 Columbia Toyota Camry XSE, will roll from the outside of the front row. Wallace and his wife, Amanda, welcomed their second child, a daughter, to the world on Thursday.
