Bubba Wallace on Tyler Reddick’s impact in his first year at 23XI Racing
The #23 Toyota driver reflected on the impact of Tyler Reddick, who has spent his first year with the team, suggesting that his familiarity and understanding of their dynamics will accelerate their progress.
Wallace expressed confidence at 23XI Racing’s composition, indicating that they have the right individuals in key positions, and anticipates that a new workshop will reinvigorate and motivate their team.
Wallace said (via NASCAR.com):
“I think moving forward, with Tyler having a year with us and figuring it all out, I think it’s only going to expedite the process on where we want to be. I think, there’s a lot of races where we were the top performing two as a team, and I think we want to do that more. And so, we’ve got all the right people in the right spot.”
“The new shop’s going to pump some new life into our guys and into ourselves, and we’re gonna go out and work our asses off this year,”
