“I know never to give up,” Reddick said. “I think it’s very fitting that when we finally get our first win here at [Darlington Racing] that the Lady in Black would test us like that. We’ve been so close so many times. I mean, Lap 1 we had the charging problem where the battery wasn’t charging at all. All day long just not running fans. Sweat my tail off inside the race car, and we knew it was going to be physical. Yeah, I don’t know. Really wore out, but I guess I don’t need as much of that cooling stuff as I normally have.”
“Yeah, I mean, ever since I made my first lap here in an [NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts] car, there’s just something about this racetrack that’s so special, so challenging. It’s been really fun for my evolution as a driver over the years, my time in O’Reilly Auto Parts car, my time at [Richard Childress Racing] and what we’ve perfected, my time here at [23XI Racing]. Just really proud of everybody, and it’s cool to get boss man his fourth win on the year.”
Reddick was able to give 23XI Racing co-owner Michael Jordan another reason to celebrate, as he was in attendance for his fourth victory of the 2026 NASCAR season. It has been an electric start for Reddick; however, there is more work ahead with Martinsville Speedway up next.
