Tyler Reddick: NASCAR Cup playoffs 2025 preview

For the fifth straight season, Tyler Reddick has qualified for the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs.

But 2025 marks the first time since 2021 the Corning, California driver is winless entering the postseason.

Since joining 23XI Racing in 2023, Reddick has amassed five of his eight career wins with the organization, including a Championship 4 appearance last year.

Yet, Reddick enters the playoffs on a 28-race winless skid, dating back to his clutch victory at Homestead-Miami Speedway in October to advance to the championship round as a contender.

“The speed has been there at times,” Reddick said. “We just haven’t executed and capitalized. And basically how (Daytona) just encapsulates what this year has been like for us, just time and time again not capitalizing and not taking advantage of strong Toyota Camrys.

“And we’re going to have to clean it up, and we’re going to have to be forced to do that in the middle of the playoffs.”

Reddick and Alex Bowman are the lone two drivers without a win among the playoff field leaving Daytona.

Reddick starts the postseason 14th on the playoff grid, one point behind 12th-place Joey Logano entering the first race of the playoffs at Darlington.

Stats through 26 races

  • 1 pole
  • 0 wins
  • 5 Top-5 finishes
  • 9 Top-10 finishes
  • 153 laps led

The numbers may not mirror his career year of 2024, but Reddick has shown speed throughout the season.
