FORT WORTH, Texas — Tyler Reddick wins the first round of NASCAR’s Round of 12 Playoffs race at Sunday’s AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Finishing P2 was Joey Logano which launched the Team Penske driver to the NASCAR Playoffs Points lead and to the top of our GFT AI Driver Rankings. Ross Chastain is P2, Kyle Larson P3, Ryan Blaney P4, Chase Elliott P5, Denny Hamlin P6, Daniel Suarez P7, and Chase Brisco P8. Below the Round of 8 Cut Line is William Byron P9, Austin Cendric P10, Christopher Bell P11, and Alex Bowman P12. With a potential penalty (and likely appeal) for Byron looming for spinning Hamlin under caution, the points may change before the next race at Talladega.
