During the Goodyear 400 race, Chris Buescher and Reddick were racing for first place. Reddick’s car slid up into Buescher as he attempted to pass him for the lead. Unfortunately, this move pushed Buescher into the wall, costing them both a chance for victory.

Buescher was understandably upset. It was the second consecutive week he missed out on a win, having finished just 0.001 seconds behind Kyle Larson the previous weekend at Kansas. In pit lane, Buescher confronted Reddick, emphasizing the impact of the incident on his chances to qualify for the NASCAR playoffs. He expressed disappointment in Reddick’s actions and called for better behavior, especially considering Reddick’s secure position in the playoffs after winning an earlier race in the season.
