Tyler Reddick or Chris Buescher would have emerged as the winner in the race if it weren’t for the accident that occurred at the end. The drivers from 23XI Racing and RFK Racing were involved in a fierce battle during the Goodyear 400 at Darlington. However, with only 10 laps to go, their cars collided, resulting in significant damage to both vehicles.
During his post-race interview, Tyler Reddick, a two-time Xfinity Series champion, acknowledged that he made an aggressive move in an attempt to overtake, but it wasn’t enough to pass Chris Buescher. Reddick took full responsibility for the mistake, admitting that his rival did nothing wrong.
Chris Buescher, on the other hand, expressed frustration and disappointment with Reddick after the race. He approached the driver of car number 45 and confronted him about the incident. Reddick acknowledged his mistake and admitted to Buescher that he was wrong. Buescher reminded him that he should have raced with more respect.
Buescher also discussed the incident, expressing disappointment in himself for causing damage to someone who had consistently raced fairly with him in the past. Similar comments were made by Buescher during his discussion in the pit area.
Both Reddick and Buescher seem to understand who was at fault for the incident, indicating that they will likely overcome any potential animosity. In the upcoming races, the driver of the number 45 Camry will certainly be more cautious when racing against the Ford driver, keeping the confrontation in mind.
