Ever since 23XI Racing announced that the Richard Childress Racing driver Tyler Reddick will join the team in 2024, there have been a lot of questions. Naturally, everyone wants to know about the big move. And one question that came up is will he replace Bubba Wallace?

Well, Denny Hamlin might have revealed the plans way before we realize.

Hamlin was in conversation with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and revealed plans for 23XI Racing to host the third team back in May, over a month before the announcement.

Denny said, “I think probably three is the proper number. I think that when you think — look at efficiencies when it comes to your personnel, the departments that you have — you gain from one to two [teams]. That’s good. Three is a slight gain and then a fourth team it’s like hiring a whole new team again. You’ve got to hire the additional people. So three is kind of a good sweet spot for your resources.”

Fortunately, 23XI Racing isn’t replacing Bubba Wallace.
