Reddick won both on and off-track

In 2019, Tyler Reddick was competing for Richard Childress Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. And his run was stellar – he clinched six trophies, 24 top-fives and 27 top-tens. And the current JGR driver could effectively use his racing success off-track as well. That year, Reddick and Alexa were expecting the birth of their first child. They locked horns over one pressing issue – what to name their child. Alexa wanted to go for ‘Ryker’, but Reddick did not like it.

Then DeLeon offered Reddick a deal: “Listen, you win this championship, you can name him whatever you want, but I don’t want you calling him anything until you are in victory lane holding up that championship trophy in Miami.” And that provided Reddick with a powerful motivation to defend his 2018 Xfinity title.

Tyler Reddick lived up to his word and dominated the Xfinity Series season. He clinched the trophy, earned a ride for a full-time Cup career with RCR in 2020, and got to name his baby. ‘Baby Beau’ was introduced as the name of the power couple’s son. Reddick recalled this year how that deal with DeLeon convinced him to clinch the championship trophy. “There was no way I’m gonna lose this championship. And that’s what put me over the edge.”

Now Tyler Reddick and his happy family can rejoice in an important milestone. His much-awaited marriage may give him a boost to clinch this year’s Cup championship, who knows?
