23XI Racing signs with Rockstar Energy despite Monster Energy

Tyler Reddick welcomes Rockstar Energy as a new sponsor

Rockstar Energy has signed with 23XI Racing. Tyler Reddick is set to be featured in the brand’s marketing campaigns, digital content, and on-track integrations.

The No. 45 car will have a new Rockstar Energy livery in select NASCAR Cup Series races. The new paint scheme will make it’s debut on April 26th at Talladega Superspeedway.

Reddick was formerly sponsored by Monster Energy. He drove a Monster Energy sponsored car as recently as 2025.

Interestingly, 23XI Racing also has a Monster Energy themed car. The No. 35 is fielded by Riley Herbst and features Monster Energy branding with ties to his family’s “Terrible Herbst” retail chain.
