“Shouldn’t have been a total shock to RCR” Tyler Reddick ready to drive for 23X1 Racing from 2024 season » FirstSportz
23X1 racethe NASCAR outfit owned by NBA Legend Michael Jordan and Veterans JGR Cup driver Denny HamlinHe has announced an exciting newcomer for the 2024 season. The second Toyota team on the grid, beginning its NASCAR journey in 2021, has announced the signing of Tyler Reddickwho drives now No.: 8 Chevy Camaro ZL1 to the Richard Childress Racing and is widely viewed as a future superstar in the NASCAR community, will join them from the start of the 2024 season.
Tyler Reddick, who clinched his first Cup Series win in two race weekends at Road America, will have championship dreams in the 23X1 setup. The two-time champion of the Xfinity series with JR Motorsport and RCR will hope to position him better for the championship, something he has not managed to do with his two and a half year stint with the RCR team.
The 23X1 Racing Team currently hosts two riders on the grid, Bubba Wallace who has been driving the No:23 charter since 2021, and a veteran Kurt Busch who joined the team at the start of the 2022 season. Both drivers have given the team wins to date, with the first in 21 seasons coming from Wallace Talladega and a second from Busch this year Kansas.
It is not clear which of the two drivers will replace Tyler Reddick as both drivers are of value to the team from a business and sporting perspective. Bubba Wallace, who will be the only full-time African-American driver on the grid, offers plenty of business opportunity and he’s a handy driver when it comes to performance, although he’s certainly not championship material. Kurt Busch, on the other hand, has certainly seen his best days, but has a lot to offer the team with his experience and skills.
