- Michael Jordan celebrates as his driver Tyler Reddick makes NASCAR Championship Race (newsbreak.com)
Basketball legend Michael Jordan, who owns 23XI Racing, celebrated a major victory on Sunday.
Tyler Reddick, a driver for 23XI Racing, secured a NASCAR Cup Series championship berth by winning the playoff race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Reddick’s daring last-lap pass defeated reigning champion Ryan Blaney and co-team owner Denny Hamlin.
Jordan expressed his excitement and pride in Reddick’s victory, which was achieved through a strategic pit stop that kept Reddick on the track while other cars pitted.
Reddick’s win places him in the NASCAR Championship Race alongside Joey Logano of Team Penske. The final two berths will be determined at the Martinsville Speedway race next Sunday.
