“You simply gotta be aggressive on restarts,” mentioned Reddick after being launched from the infield care middle. “It is how this Subsequent Gen racing has been because the starting. I form of noticed them each have a second and I had only a break up second to decide. You gotta be aggressive. You gotta try to get these spots again on a restart. It may be onerous to cross after some time.”

At that time, there’s nowhere to essentially go. I wanted to make the choice earlier after I noticed them sliding. Simply be somewhat extra conservative. That may have averted the incident.
