Tyler Reddick came out on top in Heat 4 of the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium, securing a crucial victory and solidifying his spot near the front for the main event. The 23XI Racing driver edged out Christopher Bell, with Ryan Preece, Austin Cindric, and Todd Gilliland rounding out the top five.
Reddick Controls the Chaos
With Bowman Gray’s tight quarter-mile track notorious for its bumper-to-bumper racing and heated battles, Reddick needed a smooth yet aggressive approach to maintain control. He managed to fend off challenges from Bell and Preece, keeping his car in clean air while the field fought behind him.
“It’s all about track position here,” Reddick said after the race. “Getting this heat win is huge because it puts us in a much better spot for the main event.”
