Rockstar Energy Returns to NASCAR as 23XI Signs Multi‑Race Deal With Tyler Reddick

The move underscores shifting energy‑drink sponsorships in Cup racing fueled by Reddick’s breakout season.

Overview

  • A partnership announced Thursday makes Rockstar the primary sponsor of Tyler Reddick’s No. 45 Toyota for select 2026 Cup races.
  • The Rockstar paint scheme will debut at Talladega on April 26, with the team yet to disclose the remaining race dates.
  • The agreement includes on‑track and off‑track activation with branding on Reddick’s helmet, firesuit, equipment, and hauler, plus marketing and digital content.
