FILE - Tyler Reddick, left, and Austin Dillon talk before the first of two qualifying auto races for the NASCAR Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla., in this Thursday, Feb. 14, 2019, file photo. There’s one guy Tyler Reddick doesn’t expect any help from at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday night: His teammate. Reddick and fellow Richard Childress Racing driver Austin Dillon are essentially battling each other for the 16th and final spot in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. And that makes teamwork at the 2½-mile superspeedway downright tricky, maybe even unthinkable, for the duo. (AP Photo/Terry Renna, File)
