Teenager Tyler Reddick is establishing himself as one of NASCAR’s up-and-coming drivers.
The 19-year-old opened the 2015 season at Daytona with his first career win in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series last month, and followed it up with a fifth-place finish at Atlanta.
Reddick is the only Truck driver with two top-fives this season, and currently leads the standings — two points ahead of two-time defending series champion Matt Crafton.
Driving the No. 19 Ford for Brad Keselowski Racing, Reddick placed among the top 10 in nine of 16 Truck races last season. He finished top six in four of his final five races, winning the pole for two of them (Talladega and Fort Worth) and sliding up to 12th in the final standings.
Until last month’s run at Daytona, Reddick’s best NCWTS finish was fourth.
The Camping World Trucks Series is in the midst of a four-week layoff before racing again on March 28 in the Kroger 250 at Martinsville Speedway (2:30 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1). Crafton won last year at Martinsville.
Erik Jones (minus-7), Johnny Sauter (minus-15) and James Buescher (minus-24) are also among the top five in the points standings.
Jones was the runner-up at Daytona this season and finished seventh in Atlanta.
Sauter has a pair of top-10 finishes this season (10th and sixth) and Buescher, the 2012 series champion, has one (eighth at Atlanta).
