Reddick Puts Big Machine in Victory Lane

(FORT WORTH, TX – MAY 21, 2022 – RIS) Tyler Reddick gave Big Machine Racing the team’s first Xfinity Series race win, ending Chevy’s victory drought at Texas, leading William Byron across the line by nearly two seconds, taking the lead a major crash at lap 137 and leading the last 31 laps of the race. 

Justin Allgaier led more laps, 33, on two occasions, but Josh Berry headed more laps than anyone else at 46 times past Start/Finish in front of the pack.

Riley Herbst, the top finishing Ford, in eighth, commented: “It was a good day. We got another top-10 so that is good. We just struggled with speed a little bit and we had some struggles on pit stops which put is back a few times. We were able to work our way back up inside the top-10 though, so that is good. We will take this and work on some things for Charlotte.”

Top Toyota finisher Ryan Truex, scored sixth-place in his Supra. “I felt like stage two we really hit our stride and we were really fast,” he said after the race. “I feel like us and the 7 (Justin Allgaier) were the two strongest cars. I don’t know what happened that last stage, I don’t know if it was the set of tires or what, but we just gave up track position and never got it back. Sixth isn’t bad, but probably should have been top-two. It’s just tough to pass here and dirty air is really hard. The crew did really good. I really needed a green flag run and unfortunately everybody kept wrecking so we never really had those. I’ll take it, solid day.”
