That is what we call a hot streak, folks. Tyler Reddick emerged victorious again on Sunday afternoon as he won the DuraMax Texas Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas, marking his third consecutive win to start the NASCAR Cup Series season, a feat that had never been accomplished before.
And Reddick had to do it the hard way as he beat Shane van Gisbergen, the best road racer in the sport, head-to-head for the win.
