FORT WORTH, TEXAS — Austin Dillon stayed in front after a restart with two laps to go and beat rookie teammate Tyler Reddick to the checkered flag at Texas, giving Richard Childress Racing its first 1-2 NASCAR Cup finish in nine years.
With spectators spread out in the stands on a scorching Sunday, a very dehydrated Dillon got the checkered flag and did some celebratory burnouts on the front stretch before going to the infield care center.
“I got a couple IVs in me, feeling great. I felt great once I kind of got in air conditioning.
