TYLER REDDICK QUOTE: 

We're headed back to Darlington Raceway this week, but it'll be a much longer race for you this time around. How are you preparing for that?

"Well, based on the two races we had at Darlington earlier this year, I need to avoid hitting both the wall and things that come off the wall. That sponsor banner that came off the wall and got stuck on the grille of my Caterpillar Chevrolet during the first race there back in May completely messed up the handling of it. The handling got so bad that I got into the wall too, and that didn't help things either. So, I need to avoid both those things. 360-plus laps at Darlington is a long time with lots of opportunity to have success, but also a lot of opportunities to receive a Darlington stripe. Everything will be important on Sunday, and we'll need to run a perfect race. Adapting to the changing track conditions as the rubber comes in throughout the night will be key to being successful."

Can you tell us a little bit about your throwback scheme you'll be running this weekend?

"We're running a scheme on our No. 8 Cat Power Chevrolet that honors longtime Caterpillar driver, Jeff Burton, and his rookie season. Jeff also ran the No. 8 during his rookie year and captured Rookie of the Year honors, so our scheme highlights the Raybestos scheme that he accepted the trophy with. I love participating in NASCAR's Throwback weekend and really appreciate all the history in our sport, so I'm looking forward to having a good run with our scheme on Sunday."
