Tyler Reddick has the necessary qualities to become a champion, claims Denny Hamlin

Reddick, a member of 23XI Racing, had previously claimed victory at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, in March. He boasts an impressive record of 13 top-10 finishes in the current season. Notably, Reddick joined 23XI Racing after three seasons with Richard Childress Racing.

Tyler Reddick, speaking to NBC Sports, reflected on the race's chaotic nature:

"Chaos ensued, People stayed out, some took two tires, and the bottom lane opened up. Pretty crazy."

Denny Hamlin praised Tyler Reddick's learning attitude, saying:

"Tyler is a sponge. It’s easy to be cocky at times and just know that you’ve got speed and you’ve got what it takes to be a champion and a lot of race winners, and he will be. But he is a sponge that is always willing to learn."

Hamlin emphasized the teamwork between their teams:

"It’s good to have multiple bullets in the gun when you’re in a late-race restart situation where you had one car dominating and then next thing you know you’re in fifth and sixth. And that teamwork is close together.

"Typically when we run well, that team runs well, and we’re learning as much from them as they’re learning from us."

Looking ahead, the NASCAR series is set to move to Bristol for the final race before the cutoff.

Christopher Bell, a contender in the playoffs, previously started at the front in Kansas and finished eighth. He notably emerged victorious in the spring race at 'The Last Great Colosseum.'
