Tyler Reddick, the 20-year-old Californian who utilized his skills honed as a youth on dirt tracks to produce a runner-up NASCAR Camping World Truck Series finish in 2015 has struggled so far this year.
Through the first four races of his second full-time NCWTS season, Reddick has posted an average finish of just 16.2. He currently sits 15th in the series standings, 34 points off the lead.
Reddick showed signs of breaking out last Friday in the Jayhawk State when he led 56 laps – his highest total in 44 previous starts – but an unfortunate spin with two go-arounds left in regulation caused him to place a season-high 13th.
Fortunately for the No. 19 Brad Keselowski Racing driver, he next competes in the JACOB Companies 200 at Dover International Speedway (5:30 p.m. ET on FS1) where he won last May.
Reddick finished eighth at the Monster Mile in his only other start there, in 2014, and is the only driver in the field who has won at Dover.
“The win last year was incredible and I think we can do it again,” Reddick said. “Dover is a challenging race track, but there’s something about it that I really like. It can be a very physical track, even for 200 laps, but I’ll do everything I can to be at 110 percent.”
