Tyler Reddick Paces Practice for NASCAR All-Star Race

Tyler Reddick, who was one of the four contenders for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series championship, was the fastest driver in Friday afternoon's practice session for Sunday's NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway.

Driving the No. 45 Toyota Camry XSE for 23XI Racing, Reddick turned a fast lap of 18.198 seconds (123.640 mph) around the 0.625-mile short track. Reddick turned a total of 101 laps in the session, and his fastest lap came on his 54th circuit around the track.

Chase Elliott fired off with some sluggish short-run speed in the practice session, but after an adjustment from crew chief Alan Gustafson, Elliott returned to the track with much faster short-run speed. As a result, Elliott was able to turn the second-fastest lap of the session (18.233 seconds).

Bubba Wallace was the quickest of the 18 All-Star Open Race competitors in the session as he was third-fastest with a lap time of 18.237 seconds.

Christopher Bell was fourth-fastest in the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, and he was followed by Erik Jones, the second-fastest of the All-Star Open cars in the session.

Ross Chastain, Brad Keselowski, William Byron, Kyle Busch, and defending NASCAR All-Star Race winner Joey Logano rounded out the top 10 fastest in the practice session.
