He had to match several times for fixings and also devoted much of the activity behind Logano in the struggle of what they thought was actually the ultimate area (until learning more about the Bowman DQ hours after the race). Pitting for tires along with 27 laps continuing to be while Logano really did not desire to quit his track setting confirmed to be the appropriate call as Reddick blistered his method from 26th to 11th, leaving him four factors ahead of Logano, who lost from 4th to 8th over the ultimate twenty laps.Reddick did it mainly well-maintained however did have exchange Daniel Hemric in the hairpin spin."
