Sun Oct 13 21:30:00 UTC 2024: ## Reddick’s Championship Hopes Dented After Crash with Hamlin at Charlotte Roval
**Charlotte, NC** – Tyler Reddick, the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series regular season champion, saw his playoff hopes take a hit after a crash with Denny Hamlin during Sunday’s Bank of America Roval 400.
The incident occurred on lap 30 when Reddick, driving his 23XI Racing Toyota, made contact with Hamlin in turn 7. While the damage to Reddick’s car appeared minor, it was enough to cause a mechanical issue that forced him to pit and eventually retire from the race.
Reddick, who entered the race in seventh place in the playoff standings, was nine points behind Ryan Blaney. Hamlin, who co-owns Reddick’s team with Michael Jordan, was fourth in the standings. The incident could have significant ramifications for both drivers’ playoff chances.
The crash occurred while Kyle Larson was leading the race.
