Tyler Reddick BKR Las Vegas Post-Race

Tyler Reddick (@tylerredick), driver of the No. 19 Reese Towpower Ford F-150, finished the Rhino Linings 350 Saturday night at Las Vegas Motor Speedway exactly where he started – in 15th position. 

 

Reddick made a pit stop during the first caution of the race on lap 4 of the 146-lap event for a major chassis adjustment.  He restarted outside the top 20 when the race went green on lap 6 and steadily worked his way forward.  Reddick was 12th when the competition caution came out on lap 30.  He pitted on lap 32 for four tires and fuel and restarted 14th when the race went green on lap 35. 

 

Tyler had moved up to 11th when he narrowly avoided disaster on lap 57.  He drifted up when a truck slowed directly ahead of him in Turn 4 to make a green flag stop.  Reddick avoided the slower truck but in doing so brushed into the truck of Jason White, sending White into the wall and bringing out the fourth and final caution of the race.  Reddick made extended stays on pit lane on laps 58 and 60 for cosmetic repairs to the right rear of his truck. 

 

Reddick restarted 21st when the race went green on lap 61 and climbed up to 15th place by lap 68.  He was 16th when the final pit stop sequence began, this time a green flag cycle that started on lap 104.  Tyler was the last of the leaders to pit, taking the lead on lap 112 and pitting for the final time two laps later.  By lap 127 he had moved back to 15th place where he would finish.
