Column: Reddick win shows RCR can overcome internal turmoil

There was no masking Richard Childress' anger when he learned star driver Tyler Reddick was leaving his race team. Reddick's current contract runs through 2023 and he told his boss he was moving on when it expires only 10 days after scoring his first career Cup Series win. Childress was livid in his initial response, saying the “timing of this announcement could not be any worse,” and his grandson, Reddick's teammate Austin Dillon, was equally unimpressed. “For all the hard work and effort that your guys put in for you, it can affect you going into the playoffs, even though you say it’s not going to,” Dillon said.
