It is well established that Tyler Reddick is headed for 23XI Racing a year earlier than expected. Following a tumultuous exit from RCR last year, Denny Hamlin‘s co-owned team decided to rope him in early. Given his prowess and potential on the track, there is no doubt that the team could not wait to get their hands on him. The move was made certain after Kurt Busch announced his retirement from full-time racing.

Recently, ahead of the season opener, The Charlotte Hornets basketball team joined forces with 23XI Racing. The main aim was to create a unique game experience for fans.

The event, called the “23XI Racing Crossover Night,” will take place on Friday, January 21st at the Spectrum Center—right around the time when the Hornets play against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Moreover, ahead of the event, Tyler Reddick and Kelly Oubre Jr decided to join in for a Q&A round, where Reddick talked about his preferred vacation partner.

What did Tyler Reddick say during the Q&A round?

During the Q&A, the 23XI Racing driver was asked about who would he prefer to take with him on a vacation. It was almost like he had prepared his answer beforehand.

Answering the question, Reddick said, “I feel like I gotta go with Kurt, Kurt Busch. He was a driver that I’m replacing full-time. But Kurt’s been around he’s done a long time. He knows a lot of people. Knows how to have fun. Really enjoys himself. I gotta go with Kurt.”

Ahead of the 2023 season starting up, Tyler Reddick, along with a few more drivers, received a headstart. They were recently brought into the Circuit of the Americas at Austin, Texas. However, it was mostly for a Goodyear tire test.

During the test, Reddick got the opportunity to drive his new 23XI Racing car for the first time. It could be considered a headstart over his other rivals in a sense. However, unlike most, he is one of the few drivers who just moved into a new team. During the test, Reddick drove the #45 car, which previously belonged to Kurt Busch until last year.

On the other hand, Reddick’s former ride at RCR was taken around the track by Kyle Busch. This would have been a great opportunity for both drivers to ease into their new respective environments. Hopefully, we would get to see some fantastic performances this year from him.
