February 21st, 2012 - After taking a few nights off from racing the team resumed the 2012 Speedweeks on Tuesday night with a $7,000-to-win, UMP DIRTCar event, which served as round #2 of the 41st Annual UNOH DIRTCar Nationals.

In the feature a lightning-fast track again greeted the competitors, and while some competitors had a hard time passing cars, Tyler would race his way forward to a 12th place finish by the time that the checkered flag dropped. Full results are available at www.DIRTCarNationals.com.

February 15th, 2012 - Wednesday was a busy time for the team as they thrashed to repair the car that Tyler crashed during time trials on Tuesday evening. After hard work and thrashing the team would get the car repaired, but not in time for time trials on Wednesday evening. As a result, Reddick would start on the tail of his heat race before advancing to an 8th place finish. His heat race performance left him starting seventh in a ten lap, b-main. With only the top four cars moving onto the feature, Reddick would make a late-race charge to claim the fourth and final transfer spot.

Unfortunately, just seconds after recording the fast time, he would jump the cushion in turn one, making hard contact with the wall. The contact with the wall, resulted in heavy damage to his car, and as a result the team had to unload a backup car for heat race action.
Since they went to a backup car, Reddick had to forfeit his qualifying time and start on the back of his heat race. In the heat he would pass three cars on his way to a seventh place finish. With only the top four cars moving onto the feature, he was forced to run a b-main, where he finished fourth to claim the final transfer spot to the feature.

January 11th, 2012 - Tyler entered his first-ever Chili Bowl event on the same day that he celebrated his 16th birthday as he took part in the Wednesday night qualifier for the 26th edition of the coveted event. Via the draw he received the sixth starting spot in the eighth heat, and his outing would start with a tumble as a pair of cars tangled in front of him on the first lap leaving him with nowhere to go. He would roll over after jumping the right-rear tire of another competitor. Reddick nor the car would be injured, and he would be able to rejoin the tail of his heat before mounting a great charge back to a third place finish.
Via his heat race finish, Reddick started fifth in his qualifier, and after overcoming a lap one melee, he would advance to a third place finish behind Tony Stewart and Jason Leffler. Tyler failed to accumulate enough passing points via heat race and qualifier action to lock into the feature, and as a result was forced to run a b-main, where he started second. Unfortunately he would slip backwards to an 8th place finish in the b-main, and with only the top two cars transferring to the feature his night came to an early end. He will try again on Saturday night. Full results are available at www.ChiliBowl.com.

Despite the disappointment of not making the feature the team was able to gain alot of knowledge that they will be able to employ at the Chili Bowl next month.
