Richard Childress Racing driver Tyler Reddick announced Wednesday that he has been cleared to race this weekend at Phoenix Raceway for the season’s final race.

Reddick underwent evaluations this week following his early departure from Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway.

Reddick pulled his No. 8 Chevrolet to the garage area after voicing concerns over the radio that he was feeling unwell.

Upon exiting the car at Martinsville Speedway, Reddick was taken to the infield care center, where he was later evaluated and released. He later said he was involved in an on-track stack-up of cars that led to him exiting Sunday’s race early.

Sunday will be Reddick’s final race in the No. 8 Chevrolet. The 26-year-old will drive the No. 45 Toyota for 23XI Racing beginning next season.
