Despite Bad Luck, Tyler Reddick Does What he Needed to Do
Tyler Reddick made the best of a bad situation on Sunday at Gateway, where he had two botched pit stops and a loss of third gear but still finished 16th to maintain a strong 37-point lead over his former teammate Austin Dillon for the final transfer spot in the Round of 12, which he may need since he hasn't been very good at Bristol. Reddick started seventh and consistently ran in eighth until he pulled into his boss Denny Hamlin's pit box for a loose wheel, after which he was penalized. On a subsequent pit stop, he left the pits with the gas can attached, so he failed to score any stage points. By the time of his gearing issue, he had fallen to the 30s in Stage 3, but strong strategy and fuel saving might have salvaged his season as he finished far better than it looked like he was going to.
