Overview

• Four-month-old Rookie Reddick remains at Levine Children’s Hospital in the cardiovascular unit after being admitted with signs of heart failure.
• Family updates say he came off oxygen after a transfusion, looks perkier with better color, and has gained weight, though the family stresses he is not in the clear.
• An MRI was reported by the family to show a tumor compressing renal vessels, with doctors suspecting the right kidney is nonfunctional and planning an open nephrectomy once his heart is stronger.
• Reddick said he and his wife jointly decided he would continue racing while their son was stable, noting that his focus on-track takes a back seat to family.
• Drivers, teams, and fans across NASCAR have sent extensive messages of support that Reddick called meaningful and eye-opening.
