Denny Hamlin, co‑owner of 23XI Racing, confirmed that negotiations over Tyler Reddick’s next contract are nearing completion, a development that follows the driver’s dominant performance at Darlington and a season that has already yielded four victories in the first six races.
Reddick’s rapid ascent with 23XI
Since joining the organization, Reddick has captured the regular‑season championship in 2024 and finished fourth in the final standings, while also securing top‑10 finishes in each of his three years with the team. His four wins this year have been described by Hamlin as remarkable and fulfilling.
The team’s leadership, including Michael Jordan, has praised Reddick’s consistency and the synergy that has developed between driver and organization, even as details such as the sponsor and the car he will pilot remain undecided.
Reddick’s current deal was acquired from Richard Childress Racing, which allowed 23XI to replace Kurt Busch for the 2023 season after buying out the remainder of his contract. Hamlin noted that while the financial terms are still private, the agreement is multi‑year and reflects the team’s confidence in Reddick’s trajectory.
Looking ahead, the partnership promises to blend Reddick’s on‑track success with the brand’s growing influence, a storyline that will likely dominate NASCAR coverage throughout the upcoming season.
