TYLER REDDICK QUOTE: 

Last time you were at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, you won in the Xfinity Series. Is there anything you can take from that experience to help prepare for this weekend?

"Unfortunately, there isn't much of a crossover between the two cars. That's what makes the cup cars so challenging. We've got less horsepower and a lot more downforce, as well as a lot more competition. I do have some confidence entering the weekend though. I remember what my comfort level was when I won in the Truck Series there a few years ago, and while the cup cars aren't quite the same as the truck, there is a little more crossover between the handling of those two. I'll also be able to lean on the Chevrolet simulator and log some laps in a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE before we actually arrive to Las Vegas, which will help my TAME the BEAST team figure out what we're wanting our car to be set up with. In the end, we just really won't know what we have until we get 15 to 20 laps on our tires during the first practice session."
