EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix: Tyler Reddick wins in triple OT at COTA

The NASCAR Cup Series' March schedule wrapped Sunday with the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix. Here are the top moments!

MARCH 26, 2023

Crash and DNF at Austin Johnson crashed and finished 38th in the Echopark Texas Grand Prix NASCAR Cup Series race at Circuit of the Americas Sunday afternoon.

Impact Johnson's tough reacquaintance with NASCAR continued Sunday at the Circuit of the Americas. He'd suffer a poor starting spot on the grid due to a subpar qualifying effort. The mayhem of lap 1 would see several cars get together in turn 19 with Brad Keselowski coming to a stop in the middle of the track and several drivers dodging to avoid him. Johnson would catch hard contact in the side from Ty Dillon and the damage would be extensive. The team would fail to make repairs on the clock and Johnson would be retired due to the damaged vehicle policy.

Racing at Circuit of the Americas Johnson will drive the No. 84 Chevrolet for Legacy Motor Club in the NASCAR Cup Series race at Circuit of the Americas, Austin Konenski of Sportsnaut.com reports.

Impact Johnson said at the beginning of the season that he would run a third open entry for Legacy Motor Club in a select number of races this season. Other than the Daytona 500 it was not known when he might see the seven-time champ behind the wheel this season. Johnson will now make his second start of 2023 at COTA. Road course racing has never been Johnson's speciality, but two years of racing IndyCar should put him in a good spot going to Austin.
