Another fan reminisced about the iconic race, tweeting:
“Throwback to the last time the Cup Series raced at Homestead-Miami Speedway when we were blessed with an INCREDIBLE RACE.”
Speaking to Road & Track after the race, Reddick reflected on his race strategy:
“I just need to not wreck on the restart. That was the biggest thing. It wasn’t a great restart for me in Stage 2, but we were doing what we needed to again. We had speed, we got our way to the front, we got those stage points… We were doing what we needed to do. Unfortunately, pit road was kind of a trouble spot for us throughout the day, but we had time to overcome it and get back to the front.”
After falling to the back half of the top five following a pit stop, Reddick’s team adjusted their strategy, stopping relatively late to gain a tire advantage over his competitors. With fresher tires and a daring approach, Reddick executed a perfect last-lap move to clinch the dramatic victory.
In a post-race interview with Homestead-Miami Speedway, Reddick said:
“We did what it took to win this race, and we’re fighting for a championship. I couldn’t believe it (the pass). I just knew I needed to get even with him on his right-side door, and he raced me clean, and I appreciate it. I’m just really, really excited to have a shot at the championship.”
