Childress is focused on winning races with Reddick. If wants to win even more races. Childress needs to remove Dillon from the #3 car and get a better driver.
Someone needs to interview Richard and ask him why he didn't sign Tyler to a long term deal.
Childress is all puffed up about the situation. He's the one that didn't lock Tyler up long term. Kind of showed what he thought of Tyler.
The bigger problem is #3 driver
I love watching these new young drivers, but I miss watching jeff gordon, Dale Sr and your brother go at it. Something is just weird to me about these guys.
Years ago I heard harvick say in an interview that he kept asking Richard to sit down and talk about a new contract but he kept putting him off. I'm thinking the same thing may have happened with Reddick. Bet he doesn't do that to Austin.
And that ended up being the best thing that ever happened to Harvick. I hope that Reddick can find similar success at 23x11!
Family is treated differently.
I think Richard realizes or needs to realize, he needs to move on as well & avoid holding a grudge & just make the best of it, they haven't won a title in 28 years & this is their best shot since Harvick was in the 29.
Not winning the title. Not consistent. He's won 2 road course races. Should have won Bristol. No intermediate tracks. No superspeedways. Not ready for primetime.
There is no getting around it, no matter how many smiley faced interviews he has, he stuck it to Childress racing. It was unethical. Denny Hamlin also. EVERYONE in the garage will remember along with most long time fans, he's damaged his brand. He's a Weasel. So is Hamlin.
Play Poker with Contracts and get your bluff called.
No matter how good he is he has to be second driver on the team, as Dillon will as be the no.1 driver on that team no matter what, Dillon is the one they should get rid of
As a life long RCR fan, this is their fault. Tyler is a generational talent and they failed to lock him in.
there something interneal at RCR that is failing they lost very talent drivers maybe it something to di family over other people iDK
Its called the silver spoon bandit
It's called ego and not willing to pay
If you started a podcast Id listen
I’ve been drinking as much champagne during that interview as I could myself lol
Those two sure didn’t interact much after his win. Embrace the situation and move on. Childress will find another good driver. If you wanted to keep him, a multi year deal would of been your best option.
Richard wouldn't even look at him!
I watched little of post race look like he was looking for Childress to congratulate him.
Anyone else notice every time he is asked RC keeps saying ‘he will be in an RCR car next year’? He kinda nodded when they asked the 8 but it didn’t seem convincing.
Typical corporate Organization "BOTTOM LINE" No time for Human compassion.
Yes he won the indy race but to its not the same as the winning one on the oval just like to see them back on the oval for good
Should’ve booked him on a 2 year contract rather a year extension. In RC in my opinion
Don't know what to say,Richard and Tyler will go on racing and both will keep on winning.I'm sure Richard feels let down,he invested a lot of time,money and faith in Tyler,and that is gone.Tyler had a great beginning in NASCAR,driving Jr.'s racecars,then going to R.C.R. and driving their racecars,and winning 2 Cup races.It is a cut throat sport at times,and this is one of those times.Tyler has to do what is in his best interest,he is a nice guy,a really good racer,but I wish things would have stayed like they were.Richard and Tyler would have Rattled some Cages together.
Tyler won an Xfinity Championship for JRM, left them for RCR to compete against JRM the next season, and won the Xfinity Championship the next season before moving to the Cup Series. To me it looks like a lil' karma for RCR...lol
You must remember that Dale Jr. and Richard are very good friends,lots of respect for each other,and I don't think they played cut throat, I think they worked things out before Tyler left JRM.
@@markwitkowski6418 you think Jr was okay with RCR making an Xfinity team for his former employee to compete against him and his established teams and drivers, then taking the Championship from his team the next season?
I don't think he'd be in business for very long with "business practices" like that...lol
@@bryonkidder6199 No,what I think is what I said,but I don't know,nor do you,but those two are very connected,and I just couldn't imagine it went down dirty.
@@markwitkowski6418
How are they connected?
Because his dad drove his race cars 20 years ago?
Now if were talking about Rick Hendrick, you'd be right...lol
Face it people, Austin is not going anywhere. Richard is all about family and he will go down fighting for his family if that's what it takes. If I owned a team and my grandson wanted to drive my car, he would drive my car.... period! I own a business now and when my grandson graduated, he was automatically 50% owner. We are starting another business soon and he has a 50% stake in that business as well. Does he suck at the business we do now? Yes he does! Is he still 50% owner? Yes he is!
I still can't believe Tyler Reddick won at Indy and joined legends like Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Dale Sr., Kevin Harvick, Dale Jarrett etc.
Reddick won in super late model's at Eldora as a 16 year old...lol
Ricky Rudd,Stoker Ace
I’ll say it again, Tyler should be in the 3 car.
Good for Tyler , flipping the script for a change .
It looks like neither side has much problem if you look at performance, and that's all that really counts.
The awkwardness of leaving, but staying. Let’s be real. The focus as next year goes will change. Plus if they are running bad will be a mess by the end of 2023
Nice work winning 10 Herman !
Not a good move. Richard Childress is a NASCAR Tradition
I noticed that right after the race when everyone was celebrating on the start finish line the crew came out and congratulated Reddick but Childress never made eye contact or said a single word to Reddick. He even looked at Childress and tried to initiate something but Richard never acknowledged him.
Does winning help?? No shit reporter it's the only thing that matters
Richard'$ net worth $250 million. Does he own Reddick, or is he a hired driver?
I think at the finish line was more awkward how they react around each other. (look at the body language).
More awkward than when JG patted Kyle on the ass and Kyle didn't respond?
@@lilolme69 About the same I think.
Oh I for got hey Kenny who washes your uniforms lol
Went from having an opportunity to being with arguably the most beloved race team of all time. Reigniting that legacy. To going to and I don't use hate that's a horrible word but let's face it Denny Hamlin probably not the most popular driver out there so I understand business but the business could have been done at Richard childress racing crappy move very very crappy.
The management that represents Reddick should have been trying for a multiple year contract after the first win. Maybe Childress was playing it too close because of his youngest grandson. It would not surprise me if Childress tries to run Reddick off before the end of next year. RC looks like he could be a real SB if he wanted to be.
Wish would Tyler would stay with RCR.
Toyota lucked out big time !
I don't understand what the problem is. He gave 18 months notice. I've always loved RCR but it sure seems like Childress is being a big baby.
Why do you think Childress has to act happy about it?...lmao!
@@bryonkidder6199 I didn't say he has to act happy about it... lmao
@@johnd24 but you complained that "Childress is being a big baby."...lmao!
Tyler is a talented driver and many teams would love to have him 👍👍🏁🏁
wow. those are shots! lol
It will never be the same these are the goats of the future but there will never match the goats of years gone by and every 1 new it was going to come I say when we lost earnhardt Sr it was like every 1 was getting out of racing that means my friend the great kenny Wallace his brother petty I do belive the death of alot of drivers even young I know Schrader it had to take a toll on him but since earnhardt Sr they got to thinking least in my mind then Adam petty and I know all these driver if earnhardt Sr was still alive ill bet if he retired you would still these guys out there when he retired but God need some racers and the good racers that was racing at that time you seen 1 by 1 they raced with the best I mean you see them racers in his year they run the dirt series and that special srx racing it puts the older racers race and I haven't missed 1 yet I miss them guys this is the new crew and some of them got to race against earnhardt Sr but they was young I try to watch like the old timers race back then I kinda hate whats going on now the rules I still think these cars are safer well I know I was in petty garage and seen the car he rolled down at Daytona I said what the hell he lived threw that dam the way that car was built you thought the king was dead if he did that in the new car he would have gotten out and be laughing I seen his old car at the shop Lee was still alive they was in Alaska on a crews they told us if Lee is sitting out you can say hello they also said he might invite you over to chat with him how cool was that Lee had to be a class act dam he wasn't out there they took us threw the rooms he said that car was just painted not rapped 12 grand they told us they wasn't supposed to have anybody in the rooms hell what a place each garage had diffrent stuff like engine room got to look there threw the windows I bought a picture of Richard the car that he rolled at Daytona they said if you want he will sign it when he gets back I said yeah right he said laughing he signs everything that in this room I told him shit he sign all that he's going to be here for a couple years they was great people .in my heart am glad no 1 took any of the goats I do mean greatest of all time all you guys are my goats now we got to watch these youngsters can match them I think a few but that's in my book and now we got the hermanator kenny Wallace I want to party with that guy but I never get a invite .
This guy did the same thing to dale jr after winning a championship. Richard should fire him after this season
Reddick went to RCR to compete against JRM, that was Richard's choice...lol
@@hitmantony3562 don't post a stupid comment if you don't want a comment snowflake...lmfao!
Butthurt @@hitmantony3562
"He left a championship team. Not many people do that, it's my opinion..."
That's not an opinion it's a provable fact, either a driver leaves a "championship team" or he doesn't...lmao!
If you were smart enough you could find the information, there's no need for your stupid opinion...lol
It's like saying your opinion is race cars are fast...lol
I wonder if Reddick got some "racist" vibes at RCR, since his wife is an African-American and that's why he chose to leave for xi23?...lol
Mostly likely
It wouldn't be so bad but Toyota then Hamlin sorry Tyler hope the wheels fall off.
