What’s Happening

Here’s the thing: It’s been 19 years since NASCAR last saw a driver win four consecutive points-paying Cup races Story by Tyler Reddicks next NASCAR record challenge: The rare four-peat Motorsport photo Nick DeGroot Wed, at 6:31 PM UTC · 10 min read Last year, Christopher Bell became the first driver in the Next Gen era (2022 onward) to win three consecutive Cup races , with Tyler Reddick just becoming the second.

But, Reddick is now the only driver in the 78-year history of NASCAR to win the first three races of a new season, winning two drafting tracks and a road course. Since the modern era of NASCAR began in 1972, only eight drivers have managed to win four consecutive Cup races and it’s quite an wild list. (and honestly, same)

All of those drivers have since been enshrined in the NASCAR Hall of Fame, and six of them are Cup Series champions.

The Details

But, no one has accomplished the feat in nearly two decades. Reddick’s road here has been no simple Sunday drive either, fighting to the end against multiple drivers on his way to capturing the checkered flag at Daytona, Atlanta and COTA.

That, along with how close the modern-day NASCAR field is these days makes Reddick’s three-peat astoundingly wild. At Daytona, he escaped two last-lap crashes, leading a single lap to win the sport’s biggest race.

Why This Matters

At Atlanta, he fought back from a late-race wreck, taking the lead in double overtime and hanging on despite missing an entire fender. And at COTA, he had to hold back none other than road racing superstar Shane van Gisbergen in the closing laps. So, if he does manage to continue the win streak into Phoenix, here are the drivers he would join and their own paths to completing the rare four-peat feat.

This is the kind of move that can define a season.

The Bottom Line

So, if he does manage to continue the win streak into Phoenix, here are the drivers he would join and their own paths to completing the rare four-peat feat. Cale Yarborough – 1976 Cale Yarborough in James Hylton’s Mercury Cale Yarborough in James Hylton’s Mercury Yarborough’s four wins came in his first championship-winning season and it was one of complete domination — leading 200+ laps in each of the races he clutched between September and October of that year.
