Tyler Reddick was in a Twitter space interview with Alex Weaver. Weaver asked him, “Is there a winning driver left out of the playoffs?”
To which, Reddick replied, “A lot of those questions will be answered in a week or two. We get through Atlanta, we go through Indy. I feel like Watkins Glen is the type of race where drivers with a lot of cup experience, like Chase, like Martin, Kyle Busch.”
“They’ve got a lot of starts there. So, I think they still will have an advantage there.”
