Tyler Reddick confident he would catch Alex Bowman without hitting the wall: ‘I clearly just screwed up’

Tyler Reddick missed out on another opportunity to win a NASCAR Cup Series race, finishing second in the Grant Park 165 on Sunday. After the race, Reddick spoke to NBC Sports about trying to catch up to Alex Bowman before hitting the wall during the final lap of the race.

“We were catching Alex by a large margin there,” Reddick said. “I don’t know. That puzzles me. I clearly just screwed up. Trying to stay in the dry groove and I had more than enough room of dry groove as I’m seeing right behind you. Cut the wheel a little too hard. Just not focused enough, I guess.

“I knew I was going to get to him. I knew the earlier I get to him, the more options I was going to have. It was going to get more slick offline beyond Turn 8. Just didn’t even give ourselves a shot to race him unfortunately with that. …Not what this Jordan-brand Toyota Camry is about. It’s not what this team’s about. We’ve got to start capitalizing, getting these wins.”
