What’s the Plan for Tyler Reddick & Richard Childress Racing in 2023? | Door Bumper Clear

[@ryanperez4697]

I think RCR keeps Reddick in a 3rd charter only to prepare for Austin Hill moving up to Cup in 2024.

[@crazybut6641]

I would rather have Sheldon Creed

[@ChampaBayBeast]

Me too.

[@ChampaBayBeast]

@@crazybut6641 Creed needs a lot more Xfinity time

[@crazybut6641]

@@ChampaBayBeast by 2024 I would expect him to be better than Hill in Xfinty plus next gen is totally different anyways and Creed has more raw talent and potential imo

[@Chirp_Fest]

They should’ve tried to grab gragson. Bummer

[@happywrenching33]

Wrong again Brett. Tyler didn't want to leave RCR. He wanted a long term contract. Richard screwed the pooch on that but lucked out and got Kyle. So it worked out for him.

[@kmhsmountie05]

At that point he hadn't won. Why sign him to long term

[@jeffyoder8105]

hey Happy W ,this is Jeff Yoder the ol'broke down scooter tramp, exbiker, Vietnam 🇻🇳 Era veteran, and I agree with your comments 💯 percent I'm thinking 💭 RCR came out pretty much came out smelling like a 🌹 getting Kyle Busch in trade for Tyler Redick is at least a good trade driver wise no disrespect to Tyler as a driver

[@jeffyoder8105]

And I'm thinking RCR backing KBM long term even though RCR giving Brexton a contract was pretty much just a symbolic gesture it could also be a symbolic gesture of a long term deal of RCR Backing KBM as a driver development program which Kyle hinted at would be something that might help him plan out his financial future 🔮 to take care of him and his family

[@chadscarberry1275]

Richard was talking about good things with Tyler then Tyler told him he was leaving in 2024 to drive for 23X racing so Tyler screwed up not Richard

[@pulln100]

I think Kyle will do just fine in the 8 for rcr they have pretty decent equipment and with the talent that Kyle has is going to surprise and shut a lot of people up I'm not gonna lie and say that I wanted Kyle to leave jgr but that ship has sailed this new car has leveled the playing field way more than I ever thought it was going to this year Austin has done ok so far this year and Tyler has been really fast in the 8 so with Kyle's talent everything is gonna be fine I'm just so ready to see him in that 8 car collecting trophies and checkered flags

[@tonysanders7904]

I believe so too. Tyler should still be competitive, Austin is good for maybe a win or two and kyle busch will likely win four or five times. Bring Austin up to cup in 2024 and you have a pretty solid organization coming off Kyle's first year with RCR

[@Yippa391]

I think 3rd charter or Ksulig.. But rcr has the infistructure for a 4 car team. Hsrvick, Burton, Bowyer.... Dream team that was

[@jonathanrjaneiro]

When are we getting Earnhardt Childress Racing with a 4 car cup team - Dillon, Busch, Berry, Mayer?

[@brandanhall9943]

That's very unlikely because of Dale's partnership with Hendrick

[@jonathanrjaneiro]

@@brandanhall9943 and Hendrick’s partnership with RCR circa 2020 to build engines? Why do you have to be a debbie downer!?

[@johnhaas2523]

It's never happening

[@paulwatson4189]

never

[@coreyhess8721]

Berry and Mayer have to go somewhere. Bowman is the only Hendrick driver with no multi year contract extension yet. Either Jr starts Jr motorsports or RCR gets Berry or Mayer to make a 4 car team.

[@richardholland8612]

Looks like the third car will be for Austin Hill in 2024! Good way for RCR to get all the bugs out of a new team for RCR in 2024.

It’s interesting that Buddy K’s name came up.

[@BrominatedVegetableOil]

Reddick wanted a long term contract. RC wanted to play games just optioning him. And now RC is angry Reddick got what he was asking for. So RC is mad Reddick didn't feel like being dragged along on a maybe. RC may be old but not very mature.

[@jebediahgentry7029]

I agree he definitely missed the mark on this one, but I disagree about him not being very mature

[@michaelbarnes83]

I'd watch the comment on maturity when speaking of Richard Childress. How many race teams do you own, how many vineyards do you own plus the millions of dollars in your pockets. Bottom line is if you want to talk maturity, it wasn't a very good move yet for Hamlin and JGR to contract Reddick just yet when truthfully they do not have a ride for him YET. Maturity, Gibbs is the one that blew it.

[@BrominatedVegetableOil]

@@michaelbarnes83 RC could have just made a deal and is throwing a public tantrum from the consequence of his own actions. Not very becoming of an esteemed vineyard owner.

[@perriello66]

Makes zero sense to call rc immature over this. Not many would offer extensions to a driver with 0 cup wins at the time all this bs went down.

[@alabamatide8192]

reddick was under contract..what part of that don't you understand? Tampering charges should be filed against hamlin! How many years should a driver be under contract before you can talk to him?

[@WilliamWallaceRoss]

KBM going Chevy could give JR Motorsports Drivers to pull from in the future as well and Jr said he would love to drive a Truck once....not sure if he could make that happen, but, it would be great to see.

[@wtsdms7998]

Here’s my question, so RC puts together a multi year contract for KB which had to be a lot harder to do than it would have for Tyler, so why did he not do a multi year for Tyler instead of a one year if he wanted to keep him?

[@Vault13CanteenFNV]

That's what I was wondering. Tyler at the start of this season still had 0 wins despite his immense talent and young age. All RC had to do was pay him a fraction of what someone like KFB wants and he and Chevy could've locked him in for a long while. Makes me wonder if Chevy didn't really want him. We see how Chevy has swooped in to save KFB and KBM

[@LTJohn]

I completely agree with everything said here. RCR should buy out Reddick's contract and focus on next season. If they do buy or lease a third charter it should just be for minimal races for a development driver and not a full-time charter.

[@alabamatide8192]

you mean 2311 buy out.

[@coreyhess8721]

Kyle didn't have a choice with jgr. As soon as ty gibbs started making starts in cup. Jgr told Kyle the 18 was no longer an option. He had to choose between 2311, RCR, Stewart Haas, Kaulig. Regardless Kyle Busch was going to be moved to a 2nd tier team. He just picked the best option to compete competitively. It happens but jgr should be ashamed and embarrassed for booting Kyle for his grandson. If Toyota and jgr struggle they know who to blame

[@tnwhiskey68]

How do you KNOW that is the case? It's cool if it is speculation but you're saying that as if you know for sure.

[@crowley29]

Wait the 78 livefast car is a Ford team are they switching to chevy next year?

[@johnhaas2523]

Who knows but I think they just throw it out there for example

[@patrickharper9297]

Welcome to mo’s

[@cammacisaac9966]

Reddick already has all the sponsorship he needs for next year. There are sponsors that are specifically signed on for him and I've heard in acouple different spots that some not all but some of those sponsors will be going with him to 23XI. Its Busch that they need to find sponsorship for. I still wouldn't be surprised to see Denny and MJ buy Reddick out of his contract and have him in that 45 car next year.

[@johnhaas2523]

John Hunter will be if no Kurt

[@duanebailey6253]

it's Ricard tho so we'll see. it would help everyone to have Reddick contribute to the team. Will he be stubborn though and not learn from the past. Harvick leaves and became dominant while winning a championship.

[@dougclymer389]

What about the rotating seat @ Kaulig Racing for Reddick? Chevy gets him for 1 more season that way & it helps Kaulig.

[@stevena55]

They have the potential to load up and go trophy hunting next year, imagine RCR winning 5 races next year with kb and Reddick getting 2-3 each. That could propel rcr into 2024 with huge momentum.

[@lnascar7401]

Haley Is Awesome

[@pulln100]

I would not be surprised for rcr to get the 3rd charter up and going with Tyler for the 23 season and then continues to be a 3 car team for the next few years at one point didn't they have 4 car team

[@CocaColaDude]

Yes, they did have a 4 car team in 2011 with Menard, Harvick, Burton, and Bowyer

[@kid7856]

[@ranzablevins7593]

Sopt on for Richard how much does testing cost ,he now has a top notch driver with a whole year of testing . If your a solid team you make money not much . But how much to you make for testing. This may change nascar and the sponsorship. It all depends on the drivers attitude, The equipment is top notch the team eah, this chould make the drivers career,

[@charliewhite3992]

He already has the charters and leases them out I think but I think he'll start the 33 team back up and plug him in there for Austin Hill in 2024

[@johnhaas2523]

False as he only has 2 anymore

[@John-kx3ng]

I know for a fact that some of the Chevrolet teams in the truck series will suffer because of this. Someone I know who works on the 25 truck told me earlier in the year they were seeking more manufacture support from Chevrolet will be happening as they concentrate resources on KBM.

[@hughgerhart4011]

It would be cheaper to write tyler a check and cut him lose. And for Kurt Busch go into commentating he is great and that and has alot of insight.

[@jabber1990]

is RC allowed to do that? or does somebody else have to write the check

[@SmokeShow9969]

I love you guys but man Childress is rich in other ways than nascar

Agreed... finally someone who doesn’t pay attention to the bs

[@bryanparkinson2316]

Would there be any chance Reddick ends up in the 16, or 3rd Kaulig car with that charter leased to RCR. I heard them sayin the video that Reddick's contract states that RCR has to build the car, but Kaulig and RCR are in the same shop already. I could also see Kaulig running a 3rd car in this scenario without a charter for AJ at road courses still.

Who is the third driver for 23xi, and the successor to Kyle Busch in the 18 for Joe Gibbs? Are they both Ty Gibbs?

[@notyou2935]

We don't know yet if Kyle is the type of driver who can elevate a team or an organization. We don't yet know if RCR is capable of giving Kyle what he wants in a car. When you look at how JGR and Toyota handled it, it's all about money and the future. They wanted younger guys who don't cost quite as much yet. I mean it's not like Kyle has been setting the world on fire the last couple years. Look at what Hendrick did a few years back. It happened organically with them because of retirements, yet they didn't go after veteran drivers, they went after young drivers. Granted, Larson sort of fell into their lap. Yet getting younger was the goal.

[@shanefritts8922]

Just wondering because I really dont know, wouldnt it be cheaper to, instead of funding Reddick for 2023, couldnt RCR just buy out Reddick's contract for 2023, releasing him to find his own way for that year before he drives for Denny?

[@shanefritts8922]

I figured it would happen this way

[@daleking3188]

RCR needs to put Kyle in the "3". Austin Dillon has been an embarrassment to that number and the legacy of Dale Earnhardt. Kyle is the closet to the INTIMIDATOR today and he would and could restore the glory to the "3"!!!!!!

[@sumoneelse6881]

[@davidwambolt946]

Why is everyone all over Tyler Reddick? He wanted a long term deal and RCR wouldn’t give it to him. So he finds one somewhere else. What’s wrong with that? He is taking care of himself. I would take Tyler over Kyle. Tyler is doing really well in that car. More wins than Kyle has in his. Tyler is up and coming. I think Kyle is past his prime. Hasn’t done much the last couple of years. That being said, I hope he does well at RCR. Toyota obviously doesn’t want Kyle anymore, and it’s probably his shitty attitude that cost him. He has changed his attitude a lot lately, but it’s too late.

[@alabamatide8192]

under contract...........

[@nickb289]

People are sure putting a lot of faith in Kyle Busch. Many drivers have left great teams to other great teams and not performed well.

[@paulwatson4189]

They have been riding around with Austin for the last 10 yrs. How many gas mileage and whole field wrecks are in Dillions future The smart move would put Kyle in the 3 and tyler stay in the 8 and move Austin to infinity. Austin has had 10 yrs and runs 10 th to 20th every week. How long is he going to ride his pop pop to death ?

[@robertmcgrath2972]

Pretty sure Childress was going to run 3 cars in 2024, the 3rd car for Austin Hill. This just steps up the 3rd car option a year earlier. I do not blame Childress for not letting Reddick leave early. Reddick gave no heads up to Richard that he was negotiating with Hamlin about making the move. That's bad business.

I think Reddick in the 78 car is a good idea. It would show what he is capable of as a driver. Almost anyone can run good in Class A equipment. Putting them in Class B or Class C equipment and putting it on the driver's shoulders to run well will tell you what kind of a driver he is.

You could stick Tyler Reddick in a Parr time cup ride whatever races RCR can get sponsorship for. That car doesn't need a charter it can be open team.. Another option is stick hi back in the Xfinty series. RCR is gonna make Tyler Reddick honor his contract unless 23/11 pays a very Hefty fee to buy out one year of Reddicks contract. If RCR can get paid enough for that they should take the money. If Reddick is with RCR for 2023 he is gonna be in for a miserable season and for what Tyler Reddick did he deserves it.

@@Tcottong not at all career wise, but it was how he handled the announcement of his move. Hamlin really screwed Tyler by not mentoring him and having him speak with RC first about his plans on leaving RCR. You Never leave any job in this manner. I truly believe Hamlin is at fault and knew this would screw Reddick with RCR and also the rest of the NASCAR community making Tyler 100% reliable on 23/11.
