With Kyle Busch being announced as the driver for Richard Childress Racing’s #8 team next year, Tyler Reddick’s position is still in doubt. But Dale Earnhardt Jr. thinks there will never actually be the third charter because they probably have other plans. This could all be nothing more than a cover to get 23XI to buy him before 2024.
Charters are pretty expensive. Even if RCR has another charter, hiring a team for one driver just for one season will be expensive.
Junior said, “I still think the door’s still open for them to bring him to 23xI for a buyout. They cannot have this press conference today, announce this with Kyle, and leave and say nothing. And they’re not gonna say ‘oh by the way Reddick’s going to 23XI’ and torpedo this announcement of Kyle.”
