[autotag]Tyler Reddick[/autotag] entered the 2024 NASCAR season looking to have a breakthrough year after making the Round of 8 in 2023. Reddick didn’t have enough to make the Championship 4 after failing to enter victory lane. However, the driver of the No. 45 car has put himself in a better position to make a serious run at the championship this year.
On Sunday night at Darlington Raceway, Reddick clinched the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series regular-season championship over Hendrick Motorsports drivers Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott. Reddick officially earned 15 playoff points, which equals out to three victories, for accomplishing the feat. It has been a great season for the No. 45 season through 26 races.
THIS ONE'S FOR SCOTT BLOOMQUIST. ❤️

Now, Reddick will enter the Round of 16 at Atlanta Motor Speedway with 28 playoff points. The 23XI Racing driver may not have the most playoff points for the 2024 Cup Series playoffs, but his speed and consistency throughout the summer is an excellent indication of what’s to come for the No. 45 team. The chase for his first Cup Series title begins next weekend.
