It is reasonable to assume that the Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin partnership was never viewed by the NASCAR world as posing a serious danger to the other teams on the playoff grid. However, Tyler Reddick was able to capture his first-ever victory at Kansas Speedway and advance to the next round after making a dangerous three-wide manoeuvre past his superior. Tyler Reddick will crank his Toyota at Texas Motor Speedway on September 24 no matter how well he does at Bristol.
Tyler said, “Just an outstanding job by this whole 23XI team, we had really good pace, but just couldn’t get ahead of Denny there. But, chaos ensued, people stayed out, some took two tires and the bottom lane opened up pretty crazy!”
