23XI Racing star Tyler Reddick isn’t one of those drivers with an imposing personality and character. Rather, he relies on his skills and racecraft to make his mark in NASCAR racing. But unlike other major sports, NASCAR fans do not leave an opportunity to troll or mock a race car driver. And with Reddick being one of the shortest drivers in the garage, the fans were already on his case.

Just before this weekend’s Chicago Street Race, Tyler Reddick took to his Instagram account and shared snapshots with his fiancee, Alexa DeLeon. The caption of the post read, “Now, and then. 10 years apart. Thanks for having us, @skydeckchicago!” From his early days as a race car driver to now being a mature individual, this was quite a journey for Reddick.

Now, Chicago does hold huge significance to 23XI Racing, as it’s the home turf of their team owner, Michael Jordan. The Chicago Bulls became a dominant force under Jordan’s leadership, winning six championships. Reddick and his son, Beau, were seen posing for a picture with Jordan’s mural, which he shared along with the post. However, the fans were singling out the pictures where Reddick was miraculously seen to be of the same height as his fiancee, or maybe, even a bit taller.

Soon, the comments section was abuzz, with several fans taking a jibe at Tyler Reddick’s height. And even questioned if he’s grown shorter with his age.

Fans were surprised to see Tyler Reddick’s height transformation

Other drivers like Ty Gibbs and Christopher Bell are of similar height as Reddick. But, little did he know that just sharing pictures of himself with his fiancee would allow fans to make fun of him. Trolling the driver, a fan wrote in the comments, “How have you somehow gotten shorter.”

The oldest picture, where Alexa was, potentially, seen crouching to make Reddick level with her height, certainly caught the attention of fans. And they could not help but point out how hard Alexa tried. “That was nice of your wife to make you look taller 10 years ago😂.”

Well, the trolling did not end here, as another fan wished him the best for this weekend’s race in Chicago, but he did so by mocking his height from the Instagram post the driver shared. “The crouch in pic 2 is borderline disrespectful 😂😂😂. Good luck this weekend!!!!”

Now there were a few who were genuinely concerned if Reddick’s height was stunted from his early days of racing to now. “is it just me or did Reddick got Shorter.”

One comment among all stood out, as this particular fan was just sick to see a majority of the race fans resorting to trolling. Highlighting that Reddick is having the best time of his life living the dream. “Dudes living the dream and the only comments are about height 💀”

The driver of the No. 45 Toyota Camry will be in action this Sunday in the Chicago Street Race. Having already secured his spot in the playoffs, Reddick will now look to add more stage wins and bonus points to aid his run in the next round.
