Fantasy NASCAR Racing

Series in 2020; as they duo tried to claim the Rookie of the Year title for Reddick.  They had three Top 5's along with a second place finish at Texas.  They also had nine Top 10's; but failed to win Rookie of the Year since Cole Custer pulled off a win and made the Chase.  The pair made increases in their performance in 2021.  Still no wins came their way; but they had several good runs including a second at the Charlotte Roval and at Homestead.  At Homestead, made a late race charge and given a few more laps could have won.  They had three Top 5 and 16 Top 10 results.  They were back together again in 2022.  They put together a great season, although it got off to a rocky start.  Reddick crashed out of the Daytona 500 finishing 35th. They were 24th at Fontana; but posted a good run at Las Vegas coming home seventh.  The next week at Phoenix he was in it for the win, but could not out-run Chase Briscoe who went to victory lane.  Reddick finished third. A crash at Atlanta was followed by a fifth at COTA.  Reddick looked to be on his way to his first Cup win on the dirt at Bristol.  On the last lap, in the final turn, Chase Briscoe tried to get past and spun himself and Reddick, giving the win to Kyle Busch.  He came home second even after the spin.  Another second would come at Darlington as he seemed to be right on the cusp of getting that elusive first win.  Finally, when the Cup cars went to Elkhart Lake he was able to out run Chase Elliott and get his first win; and also the first Cup win for Burnett.  A month later, on another road course, Reddick won again, this time at the road course at Indianapolis.  Another close call came at Daytona as he was second in the final race of the regular season.  When the chase started, he finished third at Darlington; but was bit by bad luck the next two races.  He crashed out at Kansas and the next week also received damage at Bristol.  This eliminated him from the Chase.  The very next race, he won at Texas getting his third win of the year.  About mid-season Reddick had announced that he would leave at the end of the 2023 season, to go and drive for 23XI Racing. This caused hard feeling between Richard Childress and Reddick, as Childress had not been notified before the announcement was made.  In the end, Kyle Busch would come to drive the #8 car for RCR in 2023; while Reddick would leave a year early and go to 23XI in 2023.  Burdett will now become the crew chief for Kyle Busch in 2023.  Burnett and Kyle Busch kicked off the season on the right foot.  They won the second race of the season.  They won again at Talladega, and got a third win when the series went to St Louis.  Their run in the championship chase came to an end when they were eliminated after the Round of 12.  For the year they had three wins, and ten top five finishes.  To date, Burdett has led his drivers in 184 Cup starts and has six wins.  He also has 29 top fives.  In the Xfinity his drivers have made 89 starts.  He has six wins; all coming with Reddick in 2019.
