The 2024 NASCAR All-Star race witnessed a heated moment in the garage post-race at the North Wilkesboro Speedway between Kyle Busch and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Meanwhile, Tyler Reddick shared a candid post with a series of pictures in contrast to the feud between the two Cup Series drivers.
The much-awaited annual All-Star race saw Team Penske's Joey Logano with a dominant victory by leading 199 out of 200 laps, thus taking home the $1 million prize money. Apart from this, there was another moment that caught everyone's attention. There was a physical altercation between Richard Childress Racing driver Busch and JTG Daugherty Racing driver Stenhouse Jr. post-race.
However, the 23XI Racing driver Tyler Reddick showed a different side to the race at the North Wilkesboro Speedway on his social media account. Reddick shared a series of pictures with his fiancee Alexa DeLeon and their son Beau on the pit road. He captioned the post by stating:
"All love and peace on this side of pit road."
The 28-year-old Corning, California native seemingly posted this in response to the Busch-Stenhouse Jr. fight. Reddick finished at P14 out of the 20 entries in the 2024 All-Star race. So far Reddick has shown consistent efforts this season and has already booked a spot in the playoffs by securing a win.
A brief look into Tyler Reddick's first win of the 2024 season
The 23XI Racing driver Tyler Reddick has managed to book a spot in the playoffs by securing a win at Talladega. The #45 driver triumphed at the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on April 21. After a series of crashes, Reddick managed to secure a win over Brad Keselowski and it was the sixth career victory for Reddick in the NASCAR Cup Series.
NBA legend and 23XI co-owner Michael Jordan also joined Reddick and the #45 team to celebrate their first victory of the season. The Talladega victory also witnessed a wholesome moment where Jordan was seen celebrating with Reddick's son Beau at the victory lane.
The NBA legend also drew a parallel between the GEICO 500 race at Talladega and the NBA playoffs in a post-race interview.
“This is the first time I’ve been here (for a win). To my wife and my kids and everybody, yeah we did it! I’m sorry I left you at home. It’s the NBA playoffs right now, so this to me is like an NBA playoff game. I am so ecstatic for the fans who support the sport. We’ve been working hard to get ourselves up to compete against all the top guys. We’ve done a heck of a job just to be where we are." (0:37)
Reddick now sits at P6 in the overall Cup Series standings with one win, four top-fives, and seven top-ten finishes after 13 starts.
