Tyler Reddick will undergo further medical evaluation on Monday, after retiring early in Sunday’s Xfinity 500 at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway.
The Richard Childress Racing driver was involved in a stack up early on in the event. Later on, Reddick voiced concern over the radio that he wasn’t feeling well.
Reddick brought his No. 8 Chevrolet into the garage area during stage two, retiring from the race. The 26-year-old was taken to the infield care center where he was later evaluated and released.
On Monday, Reddick posted an update on social media, detailing his status.
