HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — The hardest hit that Tyler Reddick took at Homestead-Miami Speedway wasn't from a bounce into the wall or from another driver crashing into him.
It was from his boss.
Michael Jordan is 6-foot-6. Reddick might be 5-foot-6, tops. When Jordan comes at him full speed and wraps his massive arms around Reddick, the driver is going to take a bit of a jolt. That's exactly what happened Sunday, after Reddick won at Homestead and clinched one of the four spots in NASCAR's winner-take-all title deciding race at Phoenix in two weeks.
“To be able to reward him ... it's a true honor,” Reddick said. “It was really cool to see how happy he was. We’re all very happy about it.”
