The coronavirus pandemic has hugely impacted physical presence in press conferences for sports entities. So, when NASCAR decided to send in backdrops to all drivers, Tyler Reddick took it upon himself to construct the setup for his media day!

Reddick has become quite the NASCAR fan favorite in recent years, for his cheerful and sporting personality. Aside from being a talented racing driver, he has a fun-loving and highly energetic character off the track.

Popular journalist Bob Pockrass took to Twitter to share a brief clip of Reddick ‘exploring’ the backdrop provided by the sport’s organizing body. Following a few seconds, he was successful in his attempt to create the remote setup!

Pockrass’ tweet read, “To do media days remotely, NASCAR sent backdrops to the drivers. Here is @TylerReddick working on his setup (no audio).” To which the Richard Childress Racing man retweeted it and quoted, “Behind the scenes!”

It would mean everything to win the Daytona 500, said Tyler Reddick

The 2021 Daytona 500 will mark 20 years since NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt’s unfortunate demise. An icon remembered by every stock car racing fan, it would be an incredible achievement if Reddick could win the Daytona 500 for the team and their racing idol.

Speaking in the press conference, Reddick said, “It would mean everything. Obviously, like you just said, in the sport of NASCAR and RCR, you can’t replace a guy like that.”

The Richard Childress Racing No. 8 does not have a great Daytona 500 record

Reddick has finishes of 27th and 28th respectively in his two starts in the ‘Great American Race.’ As he enters his third full season of Cup Series though, he would be a much more improved racing driver and will look to perform better.

Evidencing that very assertion is his past record in general at the Daytona International Speedway. He has an Xfinity and Truck Series race win each to his name, while also collecting three top half finishes in these divisions.

Thus, there will certainly be eyes on Reddick and Richard Childress Racing as they take to the grid in ten days’ time. It will hence interest to see how the 25-year-old takes on the challenge of one of the most famous races in NASCAR history.
