Tyler Reddick races for NASCAR championship as his infant son deals with a tumor
Tyler Reddick is racing with his NASCAR championship hopes on the line while his infant son deals with serious health issues. Rookie Reddick, who was born in May, has a tumor affecting his heart. Mom Alexa Reddick shared that Rookie needs a kidney removed, but doctors expect his heart to recover. Tyler Reddick kept the situation private until Alexa revealed it before last week’s race. Reddick, who needs a win to stay in Cup Series contention, says racing takes a back seat to his son’s health. Denny Hamlin, co-owner of Reddick’s car, says the team supports Reddick and his family during this challenging time.
