TYLER REDDICK QUOTE:
Is there any comparison between the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL and the Daytona International Speedway Road Course you competed on earlier this year?
“I really thought the two were going to be pretty similar, but they are really nothing alike. The Daytona Road Course is a really challenging track. The chicane we added to the frontstretch has some similarities to what the nature of the Charlotte ROVAL can be like, but to me, the Charlotte track feels a lot more like a street course. I really enjoy both tracks even though they are nothing alike other than being two ovals we’ve turned into road courses.”

What are your thoughts on racing at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL? Some drivers say it is two different tracks – the infield and the oval.
“I only have one race on the ROVAL, which was last year in the soaking wet conditions. To be honest, I really enjoy the ROVAL. I had a really fast run there last year in the No. 93 and I feel like I will have another fast run this time around in our TaxSlayer Chevrole
