After finishing 16th in the inaugural Florida street race, Reif was transported for additional care and was treated for heat exhaustion, Niece Motorsports said in a statement.
“Tyler and his family would like to express their gratitude to the NASCAR officials, track medical workers and the local medical facility staff for their care,” the team said in a release.
Reif overcame an electrical issue during the pre-race parade laps as well as right-rear damage sustained during the event.
Niece tapped the 18-year-old native of Henderson, Nevada, as the primary driver of the organization’s flagship entry for the 2026 season. He owns three ARCA Menards Series West victories, including an ARCA Menards Series combo race at Phoenix Raceway in 2023.
