Tyler Reddick through the years

Tyler Reddick joined 23XI Racing at the start of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season, where he notched two wins for the Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin-owned team. He's now grown into a Cup Series superstar and delivered plenty of memorable moments. Take a look back at some of the career highlights from the Corning, California, native.

In 2013, Reddick got his first shot in the national series with the Truck Series, driving the No. 52 Broken Records Toyota for Ken Schrader at Rockingham Speedway.

Running his first full-time Truck Series season with Brad Keselowski Racing in 2015, Reddick would win two races, including the season opener at Daytona International Speedway.

2016 would see Reddick continue his Truck Series campaign with Brad Keselowski Racing, moving to the No. 29. He managed to grab one win on the year at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Making the move to the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series in 2017, Reddick ran a part-time schedule for Chip Ganassi Racing in the No. 42 car. In 18 starts, Reddick won a race at Kentucky Speedway.

2018 was Reddick's first full-time season in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, driving the No. 9 Chevrolet for JR Motorsports and winning the season opener at Daytona International Speedway.

Reddick capped off the 2018 season with his first national series title, winning the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series Championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway for JR Motorsports.

In 2019, Reddick returned for another full-time O'Reilly Auto Parts Series season, this time with Richard Childress Racing -- the driver of the No. 2 amassed six wins on the season.

Reddick would make his first career Cup Series start for Richard Childress Racing in 2019 for the 61st running of the Daytona 500.

Reddick finished the 2019 season by winning back-to-back O'Reilly Auto Parts Series Championships.

Reddick joined the Cup Series full-time for the 2020 season, driving the No. 8 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing.

In 2022, Reddick grabbed his first career Cup Series victory driving for Richard Childress Racing at Road America.

Reddick tallied his first win of the 2024 Cup Series season during the spring running at Talladega Superspeedway, with team co-owner and NBA legend Michael Jordan in attendance. The victory came following a thrilling last-lap battle that saw Michael McDowell spin and slow down the momentum of Brad Keselowski, which helped give the speed advantage to the No. 45. 

An electric last-lap pass at Homestead-Miami Speedway during the Cup Series Playoffs not only netted Reddick his third Cup Series win of 2024 but also acted as a Championship 4 clincher, a first for Reddick in NASCAR's premier series. The spectacle was one worth remembering, with NBA legend Michael Jordan in attendance to celebrate the achievement.  

Reddick reached new heights by finishing fourth in the 2024 final standings after a sixth-place effort in his first ever Championship 4 apperance at Phoenix Raceway. The No. 45 driver also put up his career-best numbers across the board from wins to laps led in his second year driving for 23XI Racing.

For the first time since joining 23XI in 2023, Reddick endured a winless season in 2025. Still, the driver of the No. 45 Toyota made the playoffs on points and finished ninth in the final standings after scoring seven top fives and 14 top 10s.

After finishing second in the "Great American Race" last year, Reddick came up clutch to win the 2026 Daytona 500 with a rousing last-lap pass, breaking a 38-race winless streak and earning his first career crown-jewel win.  

Reddick continued his scorching start to 2026 by making history, becoming the first Cup Series driver to open the season with three consecutive wins. After Daytona, he won at Atlanta's EchoPark Speedway while missing a front-right fender, then followed up the feat a week later by fending off Shane van Gisbergen at Circuit of The Americas. Of course, no one knows better how to celebrate a three-peat than 23XI Racing co-owner Michael Jordan, who congratulates his driver with a victory hug.

As Michael Jordan said: "This kid is on fire." Reddick outlasted 23XI Racing co-owner Denny Hamlin during the waning laps at Kansas Speedway and eventually prevailed at the 1.5-miler, becoming the first driver since Dale Earnhardt Sr. in 1987 to win five of the first nine races of a season in NASCAR's top division.
