With 40 laps remaining in Saturday night’s NASCAR Xfinity Series O’Reilly Auto Parts 300 at Texas Motor Speedway, one of the championship favorites — Tyler Reddick — suffered a massive impact, which ended his night.
Reddick was running in the high lane behind Chase Briscoe.
Briscoe slapped the wall, which caused him to slow down. Reddick made an effort to avoid and spun across the track and slammed head-first into the inside wall on the backstretch.
"Tyler Reddick came into this race plenty safe."
