Tyler Reddick is last year's defending winner at Talladega, but he kind of backed into it as the crash that eliminated most of his fellow Toyotas after they had pitted but before anyone else had allowed Reddick to take the lead on the restart in a boxed-in 2X2 formation alongside Michael McDowell, who crashed coming to the checkered flag. While that's part of the game, it does suggest that Reddick isn't as strong a drafter as his results imply, but he's good at avoiding wrecks (as was also proved in the Daytona 500 where he finished second after running much worse because he missed the last lap Big One). His crash avoidance means he may stand a strong chance of gaining a lot of positions, but since there tend to be fewer crashes at Talladega than Daytona, he becomes less valuable. In a year when his 23XI Racing teammate Bubba Wallace is nearly matching him in speed, Wallace is a better option since he is better on this track type to begin with.

Tyler Reddick of 23XI Racing will start in the 27th position for Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Reddick has the lowest starting position of the three 23XI drivers for this week's race. In seven Cup starts at Bristol, Reddick has four top-20 finishes and only obtained positive place differential twice. Through eight races so far this season, Reddick has seven top-20 finishes and an average finish of 11.8. In practice, Reddick ranked 15th in overall lap averages while displaying top-15 speeds in the 15, 20, 25, and 30 consecutive lap average categories. Overall, Reddick is one of the more favorable DFS options available in the mid-tier range for this week's race who is capable of placing in the top 20, especially with how solid his overall performance has been in 2025, regardless of track type.

Tyler Reddick of 23XI Racing had a strong performance during Sunday's Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway that fell short of victory. Beginning Sunday's race from the seventh position, Reddick showcased that he had a solid car compared to the field, running the entire first stage inside the top 10. He would gain stage points due to placing fifth at the end of the first stage. In the second stage, he ran as high as second and tried challenging for the lead with William Byron but could not pass him for the entire stage. After pit stops shuffled the field, Reddick ended the second stage in ninth and scored two more stage points. In the final stage, Reddick went up to the top five before running a pit strategy of pitting earlier for tires compared to most of the leaders. This worked as Reddick would inherit the lead after green flag pit stops until Ryan Blaney passed him on lap 290, right as the race's final caution came out. Reddick was second on the final restart and competed for the win but fell back to fourth after getting passed by William Byron and Christopher Bell. This would be Reddick's sixth career top-10 finish at Darlington in 12 starts and fourth overall for the 2025 season.
