A driver from 23XI Racing expressed concerns about the potential negative aspects of sports betting. He emphasized the need for fans to exercise caution when engaging in betting activities. However, he also acknowledged the positive aspects of betting, such as increased fan engagement and the added excitement that comes with placing a bet.
During a media session, Tyler Reddick also shared his thoughts on betting and revealed that he personally does not participate in it. However, he appreciates when fans bet on him and share their experiences on social media, as it motivates him to perform well. He has had fun interactions with fans on social media related to their betting activities.
Reddick is currently at COTA (Circuit of the Americas) along with the entire Cup garage, aiming to secure his second victory on the track. He emerged victorious in the COTA race last year, marking his first win for 23XI Racing. He is confident in his ability to repeat this success with the No:45 Toyota Camry team this season.
In the qualifying session, Reddick achieved third place, trailing behind Ty Gibbs of Joe Gibbs Racing and William Byron, the Daytona 500 winner, who secured the pole position. Given that the top two qualifiers have already proven their worth on road courses, Reddick will need to bring his best performance to emerge victorious at COTA.
