Tyler Reddick details the mixed bag of emotions in his relationship with Bubba Wallace

Having shared the garage with the 30-year-old driver for over a year, Reddick recently shared insights into their dynamic. He acknowledged both their similarities and differences in driving styles.

Speaking to Kevin Harvick on the Happy Hour podcast, the two-time Xfinity Series champion stated:

"On some weekends, we’re very very aligned on driving style and approach, and others, there’s quite a bit of difference. I wouldn’t say when we are apart it probably hurts us, it probably helps us. Because more times than not, the cars show up pretty much identical every single weekend."

Despite occasional variations, Reddick emphasized the benefit of having closely aligned approaches and the ability to compare notes to improve performance. He stated:

"On the occasions when we do drive a bit differently, it’s really helpful that the cars are so close. Because Bubba’s approach might be a tenth better in turns 1 and 2, my approach might be better in turns 3 and 4. We’re able to compare…so that’s been beneficial."

Piloting the No. 45 Toyota for Denny Hamlin-owned 23XI Racing, Tyler Reddick secured a 10th-place finish in the recent NASCAR Cup Series Toyota Owners 400 race at Richmond Raceway.
