Reddick needs leg numbness issue fixed to give "best effort"

Key Facts

Reddick, who drives the No. 8 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing, was the first driver to report an unusual problem this season with one of his legs going numb in the car – an issue that first arose in the Feb 27 race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif.

“I think it just has more to do with it’s a brand new race car, it’s a lot more options of where you can put the pedals in relation to the seat and I just think that’s where some of it is,” Reddick said.
“You know I just think I was in a really good place in that old car for such a long time and didn’t realize how easy or how bad you could end up missing it – the comfort side of things.”
