BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — Tyler Reddick capped an emotional week with his second NASCAR Cup Series win this year.
Reddick's mentor, Scott Bloomquist, died in a plane crash just three days before he won at Michigan International Speedway on Monday.
“I can’t help but sit here in victory lane and think of Scott Bloomquist,” he said. “Huge mentor to me, and an incredible role model and legend of dirt racing and motor sports.
“The last couple of days have been tough. This really helps it. This win should go for him, his family and friends.”
