\u201cOh man, I was really unhappy,\u201d he said. \u201cI can\u2019t recall a practice when I\u2019ve complained like that. But we just figured out what we need to work on. That is a big deal because it\u2019s very easy after a practice like that to just have a mediocre qualifying effort. The fashion that we did it today was really awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the fourth pole this season for Reddick but the first since April at Kansas Speedway.<\/p>\n
After winning five of the first nine races (including the Daytona 500 season opener), Reddick built a 129-point lead in the standings. He plummeted to fourth in the points with four finishes of 30th or worse over a six-race stretch.<\/p>\n
That prompted a 23XI Racing shop visit and pep talk last week from NBA great Michael Jordan, who co-owns Reddick\u2019s car with Hamlin. Reddick responded with a confidence-boosting 11th at Richmond Raceway, where he led seven laps despite qualifying 32nd.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were able to turn that around and had good speed in the race,\u201d he said. \u201cBeing able to put this qualifying lap together and go that fast, it\u2019s promising. I think we can get this right.\u201d<\/p>\n
Berry, who qualified a career-best second at New Hampshire, also is gaining momentum as he hunts for a ride next season. He has reeled off three consecutive top-10 finishes for Wood Brothers Racing, which will move Jesse Love into its No. 21 Ford in 2027.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re fighting hard,\u201d Berry said. \u201cI need to make the most of it and try to figure out what\u2019s next. That\u2019s what we\u2019re working on. My phone, I\u2019d love for it to ring this afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n
