Reddick's relief at first playoff advance
Tyler Reddick’s victory at Kansas Speedway not only secured his spot in the next round of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, but it also helped to heal the disappointment of last year’s letdown. This is the first time in his career that Reddick has advanced to the Round of 12. In previous postseason appearances, he missed out on advancing by just two points. Last year was particularly heartbreaking for Reddick as he had wins under his belt but suffered a flat tire while leading at Kansas and was involved in a wreck at Bristol. Despite starting the 2023 postseason in the 10th seed, Reddick’s win at Circuit of the Americas and a second-place finish at Darlington put him in a good position for the final elimination race at Bristol. Reddick acknowledges that Bristol has not been his strongest track, but with a win already secured, his team’s focus remains on gaining more points and playoff points to bolster their position for the upcoming rounds.
