“It was nice in a way to sit back there and kind of reset on what we had to do,” Reddick said. Reddick checked off a lengthy to-do list following that red-flag stoppage — most of it involving making sure his damaged No. Reddick finished fifth in the Cup Series regular-season finale Saturday night and secured the final spot in the 16-car postseason field. Ryan Blaney, though, who had already clinched a playoff spot, beat everyone to the checkered flag and lifted Reddick into the postseason. Reddick improved 17 spots, from 28th to 11th, in points after a lackluster start to his second full-time Cup season.
