Tyler Reddick is on the verge of NASCAR history as he heads to Phoenix Raceway with a chance to win his fourth consecutive Cup Series race. The driver has already claimed victories at Daytona, Atlanta, and Circuit of the Americas this season, making him the first to win the first three races of a Cup Series season.

Only eight drivers have won four straight races in NASCAR's modern era since 1972, and all are Hall of Famers. Reddick's Air Jordan-sponsored No. 45 Toyota team co-owned by Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan has been dominant, though his Phoenix record shows just two top-fives in 12 previous starts.

While Reddick acknowledges the historical significance, his focus remains on the bigger championship picture. Of the 29 drivers who've won three consecutive races since 1972, 12 went on to win the Cup. That number jumps to five out of eight for drivers who completed a four-race winning streak. With his current momentum and team performance, Reddick is positioning himself as a serious title contender.
