With the 2018 and 2019 Xfinity Series titles to his name, Tyler Reddick is a force to be reckoned with. He joined Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing this season after a three-year stint at Richard Childress Racing. Known for his exceptional driving flair on the track, the #45 Toyota Camry driver secured his first win of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series at the Circuit of The Americas. Currently, just 84 points behind the current NASCAR Cup Series leader, Tyler Reddick is quickly making his way up the charts. 

Recently Reddick became the talk of the town, following his qualifying laps for tomorrow’s Toyota/Save Mart 350 race at Sonoma Raceway.

The 23XI Racing driver is often seen pushing his car to the limits. Reddick’s signature style is attacking corners aggressively on road courses. Today’s qualifying laps for the race at Sonoma Raceway were no different.

However, it was still he who got the spotlight at qualifying by drifting past the outside curb in style. For a while, it almost looked like Reddick had lost control. But the phenomenal driver that he is, Tyler Reddick, quickly recovered from the potential spin, impressing the fans, which, let’s be honest, is not something easy. So here is what happened. 

Some fans commented, “Extra 5 points for style. Lol” and “Talk about a slide job”.
