BROOKLYN, Michigan – A look at the winners and losers from Monday’s Cup race at Michigan International Speedway.

WINNER

Tyler Reddick — He scored his second win of the season and took the lead in the standings. Reddick has been on a roll lately. Monday’s win marked the fifth time in the last six races he’s finished in the top three. Entering Iowa, he finished sixth in the standings, 64 points behind the leader. Seven races later, Reddick is atop the standings by 10 points.

Tyler Reddick has finished in the top three in five of the last six races.

23XI Race — Tyler Reddick’s rise to the top of the points standings marks the first time the organization has led the season standings, and team co-owner Denny Hamlin called it a significant sign for the four-year-old team.

William Byron — Although he lost the lead on the final restart, it wasn’t necessarily his fault. Brad Keselowski couldn’t put as much pressure on him as Ty Gibbs could on Tyler Reddick. Still, Byron finished second, his best finish in the last seven races. In addition, Byron led 20 laps. In the previous nine races, he hadn’t led a single lap. That was a career-long drought.

Spire Motorsports — While Corey LaJoie’s car was upside down, the team placed its other two cars in the top 10. Zane Smith finished seventh. Carson Hocevar finished 10th. It’s the first time this season that Spire has placed two cars in the top 10. It’s also the first time this year that Spire has had at least one car in the top 10 in two consecutive races. Hocevar finished eighth last week at Richmond.

Tyler Reddick won in Michigan and took the lead in the points standings two races before the end of the regular season.

Ty Gibbs — His third-place finish was just his second top-10 finish in the last 10 races. He remains in a playoff spot and is 38 points above the cutline.

Kyle Busch — His fourth-place finish was his first top-five finish in the last 13 races. He also won a stage and scored 15 stage points. Busch had not scored any stage points in the previous six races.

Chris Buescher — His car was damaged in the incident with Kyle Larson, but he came back and finished sixth. Buescher has two races of the regular season left and is still in the playoffs. He is 15 points above the cutline.

LOSER

Corey LaJoie — The car spun, rolled over and slid on its roof down the back straight before rolling over in the grass on the infield at Turn 3.

Ross Chastain — He was running 11th when Alex Bowman hit the wall in front of him, forcing a group of cars together and sending Chastain spinning. He finished 25th and lost 14 points in the incident. He still holds the final playoff spot, but is only one point ahead of Bubba Wallace.

Christopher Bell — He was involved in the accident caused by Kyle Larson’s spin. Bell was unable to finish six races this year.

Kyle Larson — He lost control of his car in traffic, spun and was hit, ending the day for him. His 34th place finish dropped him from first to fourth in the points standings. He is 32 points behind new points leader Tyler Reddick.
