He added that though Tyler Reddick moved out of California early he used to follow Reddick’s career until they crossed paths once again in the cup series.

“We grew up racing together at Cycleland and a little bit in Red Bluff. He got out of California pretty early but I’ve always followed his career. Our paths kind of met back on the NASCAR circuit and he’s done a really good job winning a couple of Xfinity championships and been really close to winning a handful of cup races,” Kyle Larson said the next day at the Fourth of July race at Silver Dollar Speedway.
