2025 NASCAR race winner Josh Berry crashes in Darlington race
After making contact with Tyler Reddick, Josh Berry lost control on turn 2 of the NASCAR Darlington race on Sunday and and crashed on lap 195.
The contact with the right rear of Reddick's car came on the outside wall and sent Berry in the the No. 21 Wood Brothers Racing Mustang spinning across the track and into the inside wall in the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway.
It brought out the seventh caution flag of the 293-lap race.
Berry, who had been in the top 10 for most of the race, was in sixth place at the time and Reddick was in fifth.
Berry was not clear to pass Reddick when contact was made. Berry admitted he ran out of room.
William Byron was in the lead heading into the caution and barely held off Christopher Bell on the restart.

Haason Reddick dismisses idea he is trying to "regain his reputation"
Haason Reddick heard the criticism and knew a question about his absence at the Buccaneers' organized team activities was coming. So, the edge rusher made a preemptive statement following a mandatory minicamp practice. 'I'll address it before y'all do: I know everybody was concerned about me not showing up at [OTAs], but for me, I definitely made sure to stay in shape,' Reddick, 30, said, via Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. 'I think I showed that to everybody out here. 'I don't think it should've been a question, but [I] just had some things to button up on as I get ready to make this transition down here so that way, once I get here, I don't have to worry about [anything] back there at home.' In 2024, Reddick didn't show up for six months after the Eagles traded him to the Jets. He missed seven regular-season games before agreeing to an adjusted contract. After signing a one-year, $14 million deal with the Bucs in March, Reddick went to work with his personal trainer, Kenny Williams, in Philadelphia. He is trying to get back to being a Pro Bowl pass rusher. Reddick had only one sack and three quarterback hits in 10 games last season, ending his streak of four consecutive double-digit sack seasons. But he doesn't buy into needing to 'regain his reputation' as a top edge rusher. 'Regain my reputation as a premier pass rusher?' Reddick said. 'Regain my rep, huh? Let's just say, I am motivated but not for that type of stuff, right? Like, I don't care what people think about me, to be honest. People can say whatever they want. That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. . . . What you talk about, things like that, as long as I'm in a great place and a safe space and my mental is strong? That's the only thing that I'm worried about.'

How far will NASCAR drivers go to prepare for Mexico's high elevation?
In the final weeks of Alexa DeLeon Reddick's pregnancy, husband Tyler Reddick slept in a tent. No, he wasn't in trouble. He was in training. NASCAR's first race outside the continental United States since 1958 presents drivers and teams with a unique challenge — Mexico City's elevation. Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, the 15-turn, 2.42-mile course Xfinity and Cup drivers will compete on this weekend, sits at an elevation of nearly 7,500 feet. The next highest track on the Cup circuit in terms of elevation is Las Vegas Motor Speedway at about 2,000 feet above sea level. With less oxygen at higher altitudes, driver performance could be impacted. Drivers have tried different methods to prepare for the impact on their bodies from arriving in Mexico City earlier to acclimate, to wearing a mask that simulates less oxygen to sleeping in a hypoxic tent. Reddick was among those who slept in a tent to adjust to the higher altitude and mitigate potential symptoms of altitude sickness. 'One side effect of it is my wife hasn't been super happy about me sleeping in a hypoxic environment especially at the later stages of her pregnancy,' said Reddick, whose wife delivered the couple's second child May 25. Dustin Long, While he said he noticed benefits from using the tent, will Reddick continue to use it as a part of his training after Mexico? 'My wife would throw a fit if I come home from Mexico and I'm like, 'Yeah, we're going to keep this tent thing going.' She might put the tent outside,' Reddick said laughing. The tent was part of the training program Toyota developed for its drivers after Christopher Bell raised questions before the season about what would be done to help maintain maximum performance in such trying conditions. 'We started that early in the season just talking and getting a plan together, making sure we're prepared for it,' Bell said. 'I'm proud of everyone at Toyota, the Toyota Performance Center. Caitlin Quinn has really headed up the department of physical fitness and made sure we're ready for this challenge. Hopefully, the Toyota drivers are the ones that are succeeding.' Quinn is the director of performance for the Toyota Performance Center in Mooresville, North Carolina. She was a strength coach at Florida State University before joining Toyota Performance Center. The department has grown to include a sports dietician, physical therapist, physician assistant for orthopedic issues, mental health and wellness specialist, an additional strength coach and, as Quinn said, 'just every science tool we can imagine.' Quinn said all that is done 'to help drivers find their edge in the car. The teams work really hard on making the cars as fast as possible and we're trying to make the drivers able to perform at the best of their ability physically and mentally.' After the conversation with Bell, Quinn began to work on a program to help drivers prepare for Mexico. That led to a couple of ways to help drivers adjust. One was having drivers get used to a lower oxygen environment when they're resting (the tent). Another was having them exercise in an environment where there was less oxygen. Toyota enclosed a space in its center with a bicycle inside it for drivers to ride in a lower oxygen setting. Quinn said Toyota starting implementing those programs about eight weeks ago for drivers. 'I did a lot of exercising in the altitude tent,' said Bell, who will compete in both the Xfinity and Cup races in Mexico City. 'Let's see if it works.' Reddick said sleeping in hypoxic tent proved beneficial, noting he felt he got better sleep in it. 'It is different sleeping in a hypoxic environment,' he said. 'I've noted the changes so far, and I'm excited to see what it's going to be like when I get there to Mexico City.'

Mothers Against Drunk Driving advocate for ignition interlock program in NC
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Rosalind Reddick always carries a piece of her son, Elijah Hawkins-Maynor, in her heart. 'Elijah was my gift, my 26th birthday gift actually. Elijah was a young man full of life and joy. He was the calm to my storm,' said Reddick. Elijah died in a car crash back in 2023. Infrastructure bill calls for tech in cars to help eliminate drunk driving Reddick says the driver who crashed into him was allegedly drunk. Since then, Reddick has made it her mission to advocate for Elijah. She and others made their way to the North Carolina General Assembly Tuesday calling on the senate to pass House Bill 789. 'It is not enough to react, we must act before the tragedy,' said Reddick. The bill would allow those charged with impaired driving to opt into a pre-trial ignition interlock program. Those who opt into the program would be given a breathalyzer device that would hook up to the car. If alcohol is detected in your system the car won't start. 'What this allows somebody to do is say listen, I made a mistake. I'm going to install this in my car voluntarily and if they install this voluntarily for, I believe it's six months, you're going to get a lesser sentence and you're going to be able to have your driver's license restored more quickly,' said Rep. Mike Schietzelt of Wake County, one of the lead sponsors for the bill. Currently under North Carolina law, the ignition interlock devices or IIDs are only mandatory post-conviction for high-risk impaired drivers. The voluntary program would allow those to use the devices before trial. Stephanie Ronin is another victim of impaired driving. Back in 2018, she was hit by a driver in Wilson County. 'I still suffer from chronic pain due to the multiple fractures; I probably will undergo some more surgeries. All this could've been prevented if the technology was available, I believe that my crash wouldn't have happened,' said Ronin. Advocates believe that installing these devices will reduce recidivism by up to 70%. The bill passed in the House on May 1st. Advocates are continuing to urge the Senate to pass it too.
