“Tha Little Sh*t Just Wrecked Him” – NASCAR Legend Richard Childress Had Some Words for Tyler Reddick As He Spun His No 3 Driver at the Tricky Triangle

While the Pocono race revolved around the Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson controversy, there was another incident that couldn’t be ignored due to the fiery reaction of one of Richard Childress’ drivers on the track. During the intense battle for the 10th position, Tyler Reddick unintentionally stole the limelight by colliding with the No. 3 driver.

However, while the Hamlin-Larson on-track contact is making headlines, this one still isn’t much talked about. But the incident didn’t escape the attention of Richard Childress, who openly expressed his disapproval over the radio.

Childress doesn’t think that was an unintentional wreck by Tyler Reddick

On the 106th lap, a fierce battle ensued between Reddick and the RCR #3 driver for a coveted spot in the top ten. As Brad Keselowski joined in, the Richard Motorsports driver found himself caught between the two, resulting in a spin after slight contact with Tyler Reddick’s car.

The aftermath of the intense collision left Austin Dillon‘s car in irreparable condition, and in a moment of frustration, he controversially hurled his helmet toward Reddick’s car. The incident quickly gained widespread attention from spectators and anchors, including Dale Earnhardt Jr, many of whom viewed the wreck as unintentional on Tyler Reddick’s part.

Adding to the drama, NASCAR released a video showcasing the wreck and the radio recordings, where Richard Childress was heard venting his anger at the 23XI Racing driver for ending his grandson’s race, saying, “Tha Little Sh*t just wrecked him.”

However, It’s worth noting that the person Childress called ‘sh*t’ had secured three victories for his team back in 2022. Tyler Reddick’s response during the post-race interview won over the hearts of spectators, offering insight into his perspective on the wreck.

As “The Tricky Triangle” race concluded, Tyler Reddick secured a respectable P2 finish, while Dillon faced disappointment, stuck down in P34 with a DNF.

Austin Dillon’s frustration with Tyler Reddick for causing the wreck was evident, yet surprisingly, Reddick remained calm and composed even after Dillon flung a helmet in his direction, a potentially dangerous act that could have caused another accident.

In a swift response, Tyler Reddick clarified on the radio that the wreck was entirely unintentional, stating, “I hope he knows that; that was not even close to intentional.”

When asked about his thoughts on the helmet incident during the post-race interview, Tyler Reddick sportingly said, “He had a win-up; I kind of knew it was coming, so I was ready for it.”

Furthermore, while discussing the wreck, Reddick took the opportunity to explain his actions, affirming, “I knew we didn’t have a lot of room, but I definitely wasn’t trying to squeeze him or run him up the race track, or anything like that. There’s plenty of ways to look back at it and analyze it, you know. We’ll certainly look at SMT to try and get a better understanding of what happened beyond just the replay. By the time I realized he was going to be coming down across the race track the way he was, I tried to go right to the brake pedal, but it was too late and contact was made.”

Tyler Reddick’s composed demeanor garnered admiration from millions of fans, who flooded him with kind comments. And now NASCAR fans eagerly await Tyler Reddick’s resurgence, hoping to witness him secure wins and a spot in the playoffs.
