INDIANAPOLIS \u2013<\/b> Nine-tenths of a second.<\/span><\/p>\n Tyler Reddick<\/b> needed ninth-tenths of a second less fuel than <\/span>Christopher Bell<\/b>, when both pitted on Lap 52, to cycle ahead at Indianapolis. Even two late restarts didn\u2019t throw a wrench into Reddick\u2019s drive, as he out-dueled <\/span>Ross Chastain<\/b> to win at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cJust really glad to be able to do it here in Indianapolis,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is one really special place to race, and really excited to kiss the bricks here in a little bit and really excited we got 3CHI their win in their hometown.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s both his second career NASCAR Cup Series victory and second of the season. Moreover, it\u2019s his first victory since his announcement of defecting to 23XI Racing in 2024<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWell, we just know what we\u2019re capable of, and we did that at Road America,\u201d he said. \u201cCertainly it was a little bump in the road, but we went out and won a race fair and square a couple weeks ago and if we change nothing, we keep working really, really hard, we find a way back to Victory Lane.<\/span><\/p>\n He was surprised to see Chastain up next to him after he overshot Turn 1, but he prepared for that scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe he got ahead of me,\u201d he said. \u201cI was kind of waiting to see if he was going to have a penalty because I didn\u2019t want to move him out of the way and make his race worse than what it was. Yeah, I was really surprised by that, but hey, we made it work. Hats off to Ross for trying to do that, but really glad it didn\u2019t end up working out because I\u2019d have been pretty pissed off.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Chastain\u2019s Turn 1 overshoot earned him a 30-second time penalty. Which bumped <\/span>Austin Cindric<\/b> and <\/span>Harrison Burton<\/b> to a podium finish.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s easy on paper, right? Oh, my gosh, I feel like we probably deserved 10th at best today,\u201d Cindric said. \u201cThere was a few things I was good at but I needed the whole track to do it and I kind of struggled a bit, probably a little lower than my expectations were today, but those restarts, survival, holy crap. All I can say is \u201cwow.\u201d There\u2019s no other sport, no other form of racing other than NASCAR that you\u2019re going to get that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYeah, we\u2019ll take it,\u201d Burton said. \u201cWouldn\u2019t have picked this weekend to get my best career finish so far. Just a lot of aggression on the last restarts and putting myself in good positions. At the end of the day, it was \u2014 honestly we weren\u2019t doing our job at the start of the race. We kind of didn\u2019t execute well. I made a mistake, spun out, got into Custer there. Was kind of pretty upset midway through the race, and then just got our heads down, came in, got tires and started picking guys off and restarted in a good spot to kind of go get some more. It\u2019s just exciting.<\/span><\/p>\n Todd Gilliland<\/b> earned his career-best finish with a fourth and <\/span>Bubba Wallace<\/b> overcame yet another loose wheel to round out the top-five.<\/span><\/p>\n Joey Logano<\/b> came home sixth, just before his car caught fire. <\/span>AJ Allmendinger<\/b> finished seventh, but went to the care center after he climbed out of his car and leaned against the pit road wall.<\/span><\/p>\n AJ Allmendinger is down against the wall.#NASCAR<\/a> #Verizon200<\/a> #TheBrickyard<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/m2sN7k3udU<\/a><\/p>\n — Tucker White (@TuckerWhite94) July 31, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe top-10 finishers<\/h3>\n
