Tyler Reddick and Chase Briscoe
Chase Briscoe and Tyler Reddick went all out on the Bristol dirt track last Sunday at the Food City Dirt race which ended in the duo wrecking each other out, at the turn four of the final lap, and veteran Kyle Busch backing into his first win of the season.
Tyler Reddick was the more disappointed driver of the two as the No:8 Richard Childress Racing driver has come so close to his first career Cup Race win in his 83ed start only to see it’s flashing away before him. It was Chase Briscoe who made the advance on Tyler Reddick resulting in an uncontrolled slide into Reddick knocking him out of contention for a victory.
Now Tyler Reddick has comfort suggesting that he is equally to blame for his misfortune as he should have done a better job throughout the race.

Tyler Reddick acknowledged that he should have done a better job at avoiding such an advance from Chase Briscoe as such incidents are expected to occur in high stake dirt races. He went on to say that he should have done a better job pulling away from Chase so that the last lap move should not have happened.
“I don’t think I did everything right, to be honest with you. Briscoe was able to run me back down there. Just looking at it, I should have done a little bit better job. I don’t know. I shouldn’t have let him get that close. He ran me back down; worked really hard to do that. I mean, you’re racing on dirt, going for the move on the final corner. It’s everything that as a driver you hope to battle for in his situation,” Tyler Reddick said.
“It does suck, but we were able to finish second still. I’m being honest. I should have done a better job and pulled away so he wasn’t in range to try to make that move. That’s how I look at it. I was going to spin out I think either way,” Tyler Reddick added.
