Tyler Reddick might have tracked down Myatt Snider for the win had there been one more lap remaining in the Contender Boats 250 at Homestead-Miami Speedway Saturday, but it would not have made any difference. Reddick’s No. 23 Camaro failed post-race technical inspection and was disqualified.
The car driven by Tyler Reddick failed the rear height requirement and, as a result, he lost his runner-up finish and was placed last. All other cars moved up one spot, making the top-five finishers Snider, Brandon Jones, Daniel Hemric, Jeb Burton, and Austin Cindric.
Late run by Tyler Reddick was all for naught
In the second overtime in the Contender Boats 250, Snider jumped out to the lead and began to pull away from the field. However, Tyler Reddick closed in on the leader on the white-flag lap and was on his bumper as the checkered flag waved.
Snider led just five laps in the race, but two of them resulted in his first career Xfinity Series win. He had only two other national victories in his career, an ARCA Menards Series victory at Toledo Speedway in 2016 and one other in the CARS Late Model Stock Tour a year later at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Tyler Reddick is a Cup Series regular, so he was ineligible for any Xfinity Series points. He won six times in NASCAR’s second-tier series in 2019, where he added 24 top-fives and 27 top-10s for Richard Childress Racing.
