Among the Championship 4 contenders, Corey Heim had the makings of a true champion. He exhibited remarkable speed and control on the track, also establishing himself as the standout driver among his competitors. However, during his drive toward the front in the final stage, an incident with Carson Hocevar disrupted Heim’s title aspirations.

Following the race, Reddick took to Twitter to share his feelings on what transpired in the closing minutes of the race. He wrote, “This dumba** will never learn.”

Tyler Reddick’s pointed tweet, aimed at Carson Hocevar, reflected his mounting frustration. Reddick’s action spotlighted a concerning trend in the Truck Series, as he couldn’t remain silent when he perceived the championship race spiraling into chaos.

Reddick’s concern was for the sanctity of the championship in the Truck series, which he considered a special and revered event. He expressed the difficulty of watching certain incidents on the track, a frustration shared by many. While Reddick candidly admitted to his own past errors, he recalled racing alongside Matt Crafton and acknowledged the moments of frustration he had induced in the veteran driver.

Bob Pockrass caught up with Reddick and asked him about the commotion during the truck series finale. Reddick explained, “It’s uh, just as frustrating to see it continue to happen. I mean, it could be applied to one person. Or it could be applied to the whole series as the whole race just continued to get crazier. Some decisions drivers making is tough to watch.”

“You’re racing for a championship Truck series. It’s a special thing, right? And some of the things happening on the track are just difficult to watch. It’s frustrating, right? I can’t claim that I haven’t done dumb things myself. I remember years back racing with [Matt] Crafton and remembering how frustrated I would make him at times. As a young guy, I didn’t understand it right away, but over time I feel like the things that really frustrated him, that I did, made more sense over time as you gain more and more experience,” he went on to add.

While Tyler Reddick blames the young truck drivers for not behaving professionally on the track, he also realizes that the truck series has been missing something important that made all the difference in days past — the presence of seasoned veterans who could guide the young starts of tomorrow.

“One aspect that Truck Series kind of lost is just like there were 5,6, maybe 7 veterans of the truck series that ran every week. They were competitive, they were up there with the young guys. They kind of pull them aside every now and again and say, hey, this is okay, this is not. I know Matt’s probably trying his best to do that. And you know, you don’t have the number of veterans you used to, right? You just have a bunch of young kids out there giving it everything they have. And sometimes, some of us want it so bad, we’re willing to make some pretty poor decisions,” he concluded.
