Reddick Wins at Phoenix as Larson's Cut Tire Tightens the NASCAR Chase

Kyle Larson came into Phoenix with a 49-point lead, but a cut tire put him into the wall. Tyler Reddick won on a two-tire call during a late caution, and Joey Logano swept both stages. Denny Hamlin finished 28th after a blown right rear tire and a speeding penalty. With three races left in the 10-event Chase, the result has fans arguing about NASCAR's revived format: no eliminations, one points reset, and the title going to the points leader after the November 8 finale at Homestead-Miami.
