And so, if there’s ever one that you feel like you can grab, you go after, you do whatever it takes to make that happen and then you work on the details later.” Similar to Jordan and Hamlin initially signing Bubba Wallace for the team’s 2021 debut season then following that by bringing in Kurt Busch as the team expanded to two cars for the 2022 season, 23XI again showed its willingness to take the necessary steps to build a potential championship-caliber organization. We’re delighted to have Tyler in our future.” How exactly 23XI fits Reddick into its driver lineup is still to be determined. Expansion was not something Hamlin outright dismissed, though he did say, “We don’t forecast that being the case for us.” Should expansion not be feasible, 23XI would have to make room by having Reddick replace Wallace or Busch.
