Tyler Reddick, Ryan Blaney and Chris Buescher face uphill battles in attempting to be eligible for the Cup Series championship at Phoenix.
They have a long way to go to get there this year, too. They are now the underdogs with their backs against the wall and needing a walk-off win or strong runs and a little bit of luck to advance.
Reddick is maybe the most intriguing of the drivers who face uphill climbs over the next two weeks. After some success at Richard Childress Racing, Reddick is in his first year driving for 23XI Racing, co-owned by Cup driverand NBA legend Michael Jordan. The organization is in its third year of existence and is making its first true championship run.
His team owner, Denny Hamlin, said he doesn't feel Reddick is at a disadvantage with no experience — and the team not having experience — at a championship run. Reddick has a veteran crew chief in Billy Scott and the team has personnel who have worked on championship teams. "What we know has gotten us to this point. ... We're very capable of making it into this next one. We certainly have that long-shot ability to go to Phoenix and be a contender for this thing."And after Vegas? Buescher appeared to have a hard time stomaching that an 11th-place finish would be considered a bad day. He ended up 10th after the Blaney disqualification.
"It's not only about having speed, it's about executing a good race, too," Blaney said before the start of the round."Hopefully we can do that."
