Tyler Reddick, who recently won his first Cup Series race at Road America, will leave Richard Childress Racing for 23XI Racing and Toyota in 2024.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Tyler Reddick will join 23XI Racing beginning in 2024, the team announced Tuesday. 

Reddick, who won his first Cup Series race at Road America on July 3, has driven for Richard Childress Racing since joining NASCAR's top series in 2020. 

Richard Childress Racing tweeted a statement in response to the Reddick news, saying the timing "could not be any worse."

"We're proud of the success Tyler Reddick has found at Richard Childress Racing," the statement reads. "We're focused on winning a championship in 2022 and 2023, although timing of this announcement could not be any worse."

23XI is co-owned by NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin and NBA legend Michael Jordan. Bubba Wallace has been the team's primary driver since its launch in 2021. Kurt Busch joined the team this season and has one victory, at Kansas Speedway
