One of the historic NASCAR teams in Richard Childress Racing will be looking to make an even better impact in 2021. To do that, drivers Austin Dillon and Tyler Reddick would have to be on top of their game for most of their races.

By their recent standards, 2020 turned out to be a good season. But going that extra mile in the upcoming campaign will be high on the minds of both drivers.
