The 2026 Daytona 500 was a thrilling race, with Tyler Reddick emerging victorious after a wild final lap. But here's where it gets controversial... While Chase Elliott led the final turn, it was a push from teammate Riley Herbst that propelled Reddick to the biggest win of his career. This is the fourth time in Daytona 500 history that the winner didn't lead until the final lap. Reddick, who finished runner-up to William Byron in last year's Daytona 500, ran the gauntlet to emerge as the top dog in 2026. He got team owner Michael Jordan to victory lane for the first time at the "Great American Race." And this is the part most people miss... While the race looked like Elliott's to win, a push from teammate Riley Herbst helped Reddick take the lead and ultimately win. The race also saw two wrecks in the final lap, but Tyler Reddick still managed to secure the win. So, what do you think?
