The NASCAR Xfinity Series has the upcoming weekend off, but reigning series champion Tyler Reddick has a NASCAR race in his plans, anyway. Reddick is slated to drive the #31 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet in Saturday night's Digital Ally 400 at Kansas Speedway. The race will be Reddick's second-career Cup Series event.
Reddick drove the #31 in the season-opening Daytona 500, finishing 27th after his involvement in a late-race crash.
For the Kansas race, Reddick will have sponsorship from Tame the Beast, a Nashville, Tenn., based men's grooming product company.
"We're thrilled to support Tyler,” Tame the Beast founder John Cascarano said. "We're all about helping men perform at their peak, and clearly Tyler is racing at the top of his game.”
Reddick is in his first season with Richard Childress Racing, making the move from JR Motorsports during the 2018-2019 offseason. He came to RCR as the reigning Xfinity Series champion on the strength of two wins last season in the season opener at Daytona International Speedway and the finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Reddick also ran a partial Xfinity Series schedule in 2017. In all, he has contested 61 races, resulting in four wins, including one this season at Talladega Superspeedway last month. He is the Xfinity Series points leader after 10 races.
Reddick also is a three-time winner in NASCAR's Gander Outdoors Truck Series in 63 races between 2013 and 2016.
