NASCAR Cup Series star Tyler Reddick will be running at Michigan this weekend with his boss Denny Hamlin's name on his car...well, sort of.
Ahead of the action in Michigan, Hamlin shared a video on social media revealing Reddick's forfeit for his No. 45 team losing a bet last weekend at Nashville, where Hamlin won the race, and Reddick came home in sixth position.
The forfeit involves Reddick running a 'Denny Bros' decal on his car this weekend, stylized in Mario Bros. font, referring to the nickname given to Hamlin's passionate supporters and the close team behind him.
In the video on social media, Hamlin can be seen placing the decal on Reddick's car along with his Actions Detrimental podcast producer, Travis Rockhold, and saying: "Is it centred? We want this thing looking good now."
Hamlin later added: "It would be kinda cool if it won and this was on a diecast."

What was the bet between Denny Hamlin and Tyler Reddick teams?
Earlier this week, the full details of the bet were revealed by Hamlin and company on his Actions Detrimental podcast.
Essentially, it appears that after hearing them talk on the podcast about Hamlin having better overall speed than the No. 45 team, and that they were just good on restarts and short runs, they wanted a direct head-to-head with Rockhold.
Initially, the bet was that if Reddick beat Hamlin at Nashville, Rockhold would have to wear No. 45 23XI merchandise, while if it was the other way around, 'Rambo', who is the car chief of the No. 45, would have to wear some sort of Hamlin merchandise.
However, when 23XI President Steve Lauletta got involved, the stakes increased, with bonus forfeits. If Reddick won the race, not just beat Hamlin, Rambo would come on to Actions Detrimental for five minutes to gloat, while if Hamlin won, Rockhold insisted he wanted the Denny Bros sticker on Reddick's car.
Well, as we know, Hamlin took the victory last Sunday, and that's why Reddick is running with the 'Denny Bros' decal at Michigan this weekend.
Following Hamlin's victory, Rockhold also put out a call to action on his X page for the best logo, allowing the fans to get involved in the forfeit, too.
