On Sunday, Tyler Reddick made NASCAR history by becoming the first driver since 1949 to win the first three races of a season. This Duramax came to the Circuit of the Americas at the Texas Grand Prix. His car owner Michael Jordan was sitting next to him.
Jordan definitely knows a thing or two about three-peats.
After the win, Reddick decided to honor his car owner by recreating Jordan’s iconic three-peat image.

The original image was taken after Game 6 of the 1993 NBA Finals. The Chicago Bulls defeated the Phoenix Suns in a tough six-game series for their first three-peat. At the time, the Bulls were the first team in NBA history to win three consecutive championships, following the Celtics’ 1960s dynasty.
A year later, Jordan had a bat and glove in his hand while playing for the Birmingham Barons in Minor League Baseball. In 1995, he came back, and by the next season, the Bulls were on top again. From 1996 to 1998, Jordan and company achieved their second three-peat.
Jordan co-owns 23XI Racing with NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin. In addition to Reddick, Bubba Wallace drives the No. 45 Toyota Camry. Riley Herbst drives the No. 35 Toyota, and Corey Heim is a development driver.
Reddick is coming off wins in the Daytona 500 and next weekend’s Autotrader 400.
Jordan has been involved with 23XI Racing since 2020. Overall, he has won 12 races. Most recently, Jordan was heavily involved in an antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR regarding its charter system. Ultimately, a compromise was reached, whereby team owners were granted permanent charters.
