00:00The roval never disappoints and never fails to give us a great story and the great story yesterday
00:07Tyler Reddick Tyler Reddick as a driver
00:10Tyler Reddick as a team as we look at that team that team had to overcome adversity
00:16One of the fastest cars there all weekend long. They knew it
00:19They were knocking on the door of SVG and he knew it. He knew it all week long
00:24He knew it in qualifying, but let's go to the race
00:26He gets in that little bit of an accident there in turn seven turn seven seemed to be the nemesis for a lot of people
00:32Yesterday a great corner. I got to give it to the guys
00:35They added a great corner to a great racetrack already, but he gets into a little bit of trouble
00:41He comes out and at one point in time if you weren't really paying attention
00:45Tyler Reddick was almost about to be laughed at the end of segment two. He was out there running all by himself
00:53He left pit road at the beginning of segment two as they were coming to take the green flag
00:58He had to stay on the lead lap. That was a big moment later. They hit a change tires
01:05He digs deep. This is where great drivers take it to another level. I mean either way
01:10I was gonna drive the car as fast as I could and it just worked out for us
01:14This thing was able to get up back up through the field and get us to the good side of the cut line
01:18This is where drivers that you would never expect
01:21Reach a little deeper take it to a different place and they become superstars and yesterday
01:27I think we saw one of those steps on the wrong where Tyler Reddick becomes a superstar
01:32He took a lesson from SVG starts at the back and drives his way to the front going back to turn seven
01:39He made up most of his positions in turn seven and listen
01:42it's easy to start at the back in a lot of these races if you're a Tyler Reddick and
01:46Drive your way to the front or drive your way closer to the front because you're passing guys that really don't make any difference
01:52Oh, so you're telling me Kyle Busch doesn't make any difference. Denny Hamlin doesn't make any difference. Michael McDowell doesn't make any difference
02:00He passed the sharp end of the stick
02:02He drove himself all the way back to even to be in the playoffs and then gained and patted his position
02:09I think what we saw yesterday is a future
02:13Superstar a glimpse into what it takes to be a great driver and a glimpse and the championships to come
02:20For a driver Tyler Reddick phenomenal performance. Can't wait to see what he does with these last four races
