Tyler Reddick

Frontstretch Quotes

An Interview with:

Q. Tyler Reddick, you didn't want the bottom on that final restart. How did you make it work?

TYLER REDDICK: Just great teammate, fantastic push by Ty Gibbs. That's what it's all about. The Toyota family tries to take care of each other.

Q. The roll this team is on. Have you ever been, despite the disappointment with the second-place finishes, on a roll like this in your career?

TYLER REDDICK: It's been a minute. It's been really cool. I can't help sit here in Victory Lane and think of Scott Bloomquist. Huge mentor to me, incredible role model, legend of dirt racing and motorsports.

The last couple days have been tough. This really helps it. This win should go for him, his family, his friends. All that meant a lot for him.

Q. One of the more emotional weeks for you then?

TYLER REDDICK: It's tough. It's always tough when someone you care about passes away. But my thoughts are with him and his family.

Q. The boss man, Michael Jordan, was here. Couldn't convince him to stay?

TYLER REDDICK: Maybe I should have. We had a bad restart going into the night. I didn't know how that was going to shake out for us in our McDonald's Camry. We did a really, really good job today and rebounded from that. I think we were one of the last cars on the lead lap at the start of stage three. Great effort for us.
