Dale Earnhardt Jr has always been a fan of Tyler Reddick’s driving style, but he has never really understood the 23XI Racing star’s love for scooters and sneakers. To make the 49-year-old understand the beauty of riding a scooter around a track, Reddick recently surprised him with one. Junior then revealed that he would not have to borrow his daughter Isla’s scooter any longer, and that she was quite happy to see his father’s latest vehicle.

Tyler Reddick’s gift thrills Dale Earnhardt Jr’s daughter more than him

What started with Dale Jr playfully criticizing Tyler Reddick for his obsession with scooters and his knack for showcasing them on social media, has now reached its fairytale end, it seems. “Had to stop by and surprise @dalejr with his own scoot. See you at a track walk soon,” the 23XI Racing star revealed as he uploaded some pictures with Junior and the scooter on his social media platforms.

The former Xfinity Series champion shared the images on X and thanked Reddick for the gift, even though scooter guys apparently “trigger” him. “Now I don’t have to borrow Isla’s anymore. She was thrilled to see my new wheels today. Thanks @TylerReddick,” Dale Jr wrote.

However, Tyler Reddick who caught the sites of Junior for his scooter obsession. It turns out that former Cup Series champion Kurt Busch also likes to do the same. Busch may be a legendary race car driver, but Dale Earnhardt Jr didn’t seem like a fan of this aspect of his race weekend routine.

Junior saw Kurt riding on his scooter last year in Nashville along with Tyler Reddick. Perhaps it was seeing him on a scooter that made the JRM boss a bit conscious about turning into a “f*****g old man” but he did not hesitate to joke about it on a recent episode of The Dale Jr Download podcast.

“I went to, you know we’re in Nashville last year, I think, and they come on riding by on them little scooters. And then you got Kurt Busch on his scooter, his looked like it was the property of Austin, Texas, like it came from the city. He rode straight from the hotel. He was paying for that one by the hour,” he had said.

Now that he has a scooter of his own, there might be a chance that Dale Earnhardt Jr goes against his beliefs and does a scooter tour around a track soon enough. Tyler Reddick, Kurt Busch, and several others would have a field day if that actually came to pass.
