What Does Success Look Like in 2026?
Tyler Reddick can proudly say that he was the highest finishing driver without a win in 2025, though that’s likely not his favourite stat. At the very least, Reddick needs to return to Victory Lane in 2026, and probably pretty fast. The longer he goes without getting another win, the more that doubt can creep in and he can lose confidence. Success will be at least one win, and a Top 10 finish on the season and in The Chase.
Best-Case Scenario in 2026?
It wasn’t long ago that Reddick was the Regular Season Champion, with three wins on the year. That might be a tall order to repeat, but three wins on the year is not crazy. Reddick is gifted at a bunch of different styles of tracks, and has solid equipment at 23XI.
Most Likely Outcome in 2026?
If Reddick can win within the first 5-7 races, I think he gets two wins minimum on the season. He will definitely make it to The Chase, and finish in the Top 10 in the points standings.
Bold Prediction?
Reddick pops off and wins five this year.
