Reddick hopes "disastrous summer" won't impede playoff run
Tyler Reddick and his No. 45 23XI Racing team have been performing well in the first round of the 2023 playoffs, with a win, a runner-up finish, and a 15th place finish. However, Reddick is concerned that a tough summer stretch of bad finishes may hinder their chances of advancing to the Championship 4. Despite scoring the second-most points in the Round of 16, their lack of playoff points compared to the top leaderboard drivers means they have to outperform them significantly. Reddick’s season has been up and down, with a victory followed by a string of poor finishes. He believes that their worst performance at Bristol was still decent, as they were able to secure a 15th place finish. Moving forward, Reddick and his team aim to stay in the top 15 in each race of the next round to increase their chances of advancing. They also recognize the importance of collecting playoff points to level the playing field with their competitors. Their main priority remains contending for stage and race wins until they reach the final race in Phoenix.
