Tyler Reddick signs with 23XI Racing for 2024

 

23XI Racing

    In a shocking state of affairs, Tyler Reddick has just signed a contract to race for 23XI Racing beginning in the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Season. The deal is believed to be a multi-year contract.

Yes. Tyler Reddick, after his win a few weeks ago at Road America, had stated that he will return to Richard Childress Racing for the 2023 season. However, he was definitely looking past a one-year extension in the No. 8 car.

Here is what Denny Hamlin, Reddick, and others had to say about this announcement:

“Tyler is one of the most sought-after young drivers and has been competitive in everything he’s raced,” said Team Co-Owner, Denny Hamlin. “His work on the track speaks for itself and he will make a fantastic addition to our lineup in 2024. The team has seen a lot of growth since our first race and signing Tyler is a great next step for us to remain competitive for years to come.”

“I’m thrilled to have the chance to join this team and look forward to how I can contribute to the organization,” said Tyler Reddick. “23XI has accomplished a lot in the less than two full seasons they’ve been in the garage, and I can’t wait to be a part of that continued success. Until then, my focus remains on my current team, winning races and being competitive.”

“Announcing a driver over a year before he will be racing with 23XI is a little unprecedented, but Tyler was the driver we wanted and we did not want to miss the opportunity to bring him to our team,” said 23XI Team President, Steve Lauletta. “In making the announcement now the team has ample time to prepare for 2024 on the business side as we expect interest from potential partners and continue to see strong engagement from our current partners.”

This driver departure is definitely a huge blow to the Richard Childress Racing operation, as Reddick played a huge part in the recent success of the team over the past three seasons. However, Reddick still has another year and a half with the No. 8 team, so he has some unfinished business left.

Nothing has been set in stone other than the contract with 23XI Racing for Tyler Reddick: No car number. No partners. No charter purchase or team expansion plans. Nothing. Just a contract with 23XI Racing beginning in 2024. With that being said, there will be more news to this story that will be announced in the near and distant future.
