Kyle Larson and Tyler Reddick tangled on the last lap of Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race, going for wild rides but ultimately holding their positions at the finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Larson was running second as he pursued eventual winner Chase Briscoe, and his No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet clanged against the outside retaining wall as he rode the high groove at the end of Sunday's South Point 400. He slowed after the contact, and Reddick's No. 45 23XI Racing Toyota piled in before it veered sharply into the infield grass.
