Tyler Reddick finally stormed to victory at Road America, where he showed his prowess on road courses and the ability to stick his elbows out. Finally, with no wins through the 2022 season, Richard Childress Racing finally picked up their trophy at the 2022 Kwik Trip 250. Richard Childress seemed elated with Tyler and voiced his excitement with the press.
On the other hand, RCR’s Austin Dillon was nowhere near Tyler.

While another user said, “Seems to me if you’re doing well racing you don’t need a reality show. Austin isn’t even 1/2 as good as his ego suggests. He would certainly not be where he is if it weren’t for Grandpa. Ty Gibbs will be the same. Just wait.”
Meanwhile, another user suggested that Ty was better, “In 93 races Tyler has lead more laps and shown more skill the Austin has in his entire career.”
