He told Fox’s Bob Pockrass, “The odds are kinda stacked against you at the end of the day. Austin and I, we really had some good pace in our car and we had track position. That is the name of the game at race tracks like this”

Speaking about what the win does for Richard Childress Racing, he said, “Hopefully push in the right direction, we’ve been looking for validation for a long time. What’s the right way to go. Today we saw the capabilities of both of these cars once we got out Chevrolets into better track position and clean air.”

He acknowledged that the win and 1-2 finish would be a massive confidence boost. Reddick disclosed that everyone back at the factory worked very hard to produce fast race cars. Now, Reddick has admitted that he is looking forward to the next race at Kansas.

Speaking to NASCAR after the race, he said, “Tyler Reddick, he raced me clean. 1-2 for RCR. This has been coming. We’ve had good cars all year. I’ve got my baby Ace back home and my wife and I love them so much. I’m just so happy. Thank God. To tell you the truth, it means a whole lot [to be in the Playoffs] for the family, for all our of partners.”
