Tyler Reddick Suffers Devastating Setback in Sonoma After Power Steering Failure

Tyler Reddick, who entered Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway leading the NASCAR Cup Series regular-season standings, suffered a power steering failure on his No. 45 Toyota during Stage 2 of the race on June 28, 2026. The mechanical issue forced the 23XI Racing driver to spend an extended time on pit road, dropping him six laps behind the leaders. The setback effectively ended any chance of a strong finish on Sonoma's technical 1.99-mile road course, where passing opportunities are extremely limited.
