All right, everybody, welcome back to another edition of the 12 questions interviews here on the

0:19.1

Teardown Feed. My name is Jeff Fluck with The Athletic,

0:22.7

and today we have a 12 questions interview with Tyler Reddick of Richard Childress Racing.

This is the third and final in a series of interviews I did during Daytona Speed Weeks,

0:34.3

where I was able to get some of these drivers to agree to do interviews through a fence
