Tyler Reddick tied his career best result Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway. This circuit seems to suit him as he signed two Top-10s in three races.
Driving his No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet, Reddick cut the line in second. He took the lead over Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Larson in the final laps, but failed to get William Byron back. His fourth career Top-5 is also his second 2nd place. Last July he finished just behind his teammate Austin Dillon at Texas Motor Speedway.
On the Miami track, Reddick was able to use all possible lines. His performance at the end of the race is also reminiscent of his two great series in the Xfinity Series of 2018 and 2019. However, with a 35th place on the starting grid and a car difficult to rev up at the start of the stint, a good result seemed difficult to achieve. to aim.
“I don’t know why we had such a hard time starting the race. Last year, from the start of the race, we were in the game. Day and night the car had been efficient. Today we had to wait until nightfall to find speed. “
So much for Reddick
This second place and best career result allows Reddick to score important points. After his 27th and 38th in the first two races, Reddick is now 23rd in the NASCAR Cup Series standings.
