Tyler Reddick has been the best driver in NASCAR this season, becoming the first driver since Dale Earnhardt three decades ago to win five of the first nine races on the schedule. This all comes at the perfect time as the driver of the No. 45 car is in a contract year.

Appearing on Fox Sports this Sunday, Reddick revealed on the broadcast that he has signed a contract extension to remain with 23XI Racing through the 2027 season.

This shouldn’t be much of a surprise. 23XI co-owner Denny Hamlin said on his podcast in March that an extension with Redick would be done “soon.” The reports emerged after a few weeks of changes. This came a month after NASCAR insider Jordan Bianchi said there were expectations around the garage that a deal would be signed during the season.

It’s already been a memorable year for Redick. In February, he became the first driver in 23XI history to win the Daytona 500. He got it off to a historic start, becoming the first Cup Series driver to win the first three races of the season.

Along the way, Reddick broke 23XI’s previous single-season record for wins. He is also a favorite to win the regular season points championship, which would be his second title in the last three seasons.

It has been a remarkable turnaround after a challenging 2025 season. He failed to win a race last year and was eliminated at the Round of 12, just a year after reaching Championship 4. All this happened at a time when he and his wife’s newborn baby were hospitalized due to a chest tumor that had affected his heart. Fast forward to 2026, his son is better and Redick has now signed a long-term deal with 23XI.

Although terms of the deal were not disclosed, reports last week indicated that the new contract will make Reddick one of the highest-paid drivers in NASCAR. 23XI Racing’s future also appears to be in jeopardy from contract extensions, with Reddick driving the No. 45 car, Bubba Wallace driving the No. 23 and top prospect Corey Heim expected to replace Riley Herbst in the No. 35 car next season.

After 23XI Racing effectively won its lawsuit against NASCAR, securing a permanent charter and a large financial settlement, the team’s focus turned to re-signing Tyler Reddick. With contract negotiations stretching into the season, the new asking price could be staggering.

Sports Business Journal’s Adam Stern reported this week that industry executives have estimated that Reddick’s demands in the NASCAR Fool’s Season could push his contract demand to as much as $7 million per season.

It’s not hard to see why there could be an intense bidding war for Redick. Not only is 23XI Racing looking to bring him back to the No. 45 car long-term, but Hendrick Motorsports is also likely to have the No. 48 car available.

Bowman’s contract year has been derailed by vertigo, which has kept him out of four races, effectively leaving him with no realistic shot at making The Chase. He was already viewed as the hot seat entering the season, Hendrick wanted to find a driver who could give him another Cup Series championship contender.

With the two teams making the most money, Reddick could use 23XI and Hendricks against each other to generate bigger offers. He’s also ready to hit the open market at just the right time in his Cup Series career.

It certainly would have been cheaper for 23XI to sign Redick to an extension before the season. He was coming off a winless season, seemingly taking a step back from winning the team’s first regular season cup title. Fast forward to now, he has made more team history.

Reddick became the first 23XI driver to win the Daytona 500 and the first driver to win three consecutive Cup Series races. Even before April hit, he broke the team’s single-season wins record with four trips to Victory Lane.

Realistically, 23XI will sign Redick to a new contract before the summer ends, and that could be followed by an announcement later this year that top prospect Corey Haim will replace Riley Herbst in the No. 35 car next season. In all likelihood, 23XI will have a three-driver team of Reddick, Hamm and Bubba Wallace in the near future.

迈克尔·乔丹 (Michael Jordan) 从 NBA 退役几十年后，仍然值得庆祝，23XI Racing 的泰勒·雷迪克 (Tyler Reddick) 在美洲赛道上取得了胜利，赢得了 DuraMAX 德克萨斯大奖赛。途中，雷迪克成为杯赛历史上第一位赢得赛季前三场比赛的车手。

由于纳斯卡杯系列赛服装的共同拥有者不是乔丹，因此它带来的祝贺信息不是别人，正是魔术师约翰逊。

“我想再次祝贺我的朋友迈克尔·乔丹！他的 23XI Racing 车队连续 3 次赢得 NASCAR 比赛，开启 2026 赛季，创造 NASCAR 历史！👏🏾”他在 X 上写道。

这是雷迪克职业生涯第 11 次捧杯，也是 COTA 的第二次胜利。他在 95 圈中取得了比赛最高的 58 圈，并在第 79 圈控制了最后的重新开始，并阻止了该领域最好的公路赛车手之一肖恩·范·吉斯伯根 (Shane van Gisbergen)，后者正在追求连续六场公路赛胜利。 3.944秒的差距仅在纸面上看起来很舒服。在最后 16 圈绿旗跑的前半段，范·吉斯伯根 (van Gisbergen) 处于惊人的距离，之后雷迪克 (Reddick) 的 45 号丰田凯美瑞 (Toyota Camry) 逐渐驶上山坡进入一号弯。

这场胜利让雷迪克在积分榜上领先队友布巴·华莱士 70 分。这意味着 MJ 的 23XI Racing 现在有三支全职参赛队伍，是合法的冠军争夺者。

此外，雷迪克在赛后举起三个手指的庆祝动作，是对乔丹在芝加哥公牛队的标志性NBA三连冠的直接致敬。卫冕冠军克里斯托弗·贝尔获得第三名。

泰·吉布斯 (Ty Gibbs) 和迈克尔·麦克道尔 (Michael McDowell) 跻身前五名，而亨德里克赛车运动 (Hendrick Motorsports) 将凯尔·拉尔森 (Kyle Larson) 和蔡斯·埃利奥特 (Chase Elliott) 排名第六和第七。无论如何，这场胜利代表了 23XI Racing 的意图声明，该车队拥有布巴·华莱士（Bubba Wallace，第 23 名）、莱利·赫布斯特（Riley Herbst，第 35 名）和雷迪克（Reddick，第 45 名）等人。

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.

原始图像是在 1993 年 NBA 总决赛第六场比赛后拍摄的。芝加哥公牛队在一场艰难的六场系列赛中击败了菲尼克斯太阳队，首次实现三连冠。当时，公牛队是自 20 世纪 60 年代凯尔特人王朝以来，NBA 历史上第一支连续三年夺得总冠军的球队。

一年后，乔丹在小联盟棒球比赛中为伯明翰男爵队效力时，手里拿着球棒和手套。 1995年，他复出，下个赛季，公牛队重回巅峰。 1996年至1998年，乔丹和他的队友们实现了第二次三连冠。

乔丹与 NASCAR 车手丹尼·哈姆林 (Denny Hamlin) 共同拥有 23XI Racing 车队。除了雷迪克之外，布巴·华莱士也驾驶着45号丰田凯美瑞。 Riley Herbst 驾驶 35 号丰田汽车，Corey Heim 是开发车手。

雷迪克即将赢得 Daytona 500 比赛，并在下周末赢得 Autotrader 400 比赛。

Jordan 自 2020 年以来一直参与 23XI Racing 赛事。他们总共赢得了 12 场比赛。最近，乔丹卷入了一场针对 NASCAR 的特许系统反垄断诉讼。最终达成和解，给予球队老板永久特许权。

The Daytona 500 officially kicked off the 2026 NASCAR season for the Cup Series on Sunday, with Daytona International Raceway offering a spectacular battle. Between crashes, podiums and the battle of the finals, some of the best drivers in NASCAR races today had mixed results.

Let’s take a look at our winners and losers from the Daytona 500.

Winner: Tyler Reddick

Tyler Reddick is back. Last season, he clearly wasn’t himself as he faced a 23XI Racing lawsuit against NASCAR that clouded his future while he and his wife were dealing with their newborn son’s dire medical condition. Fortunately, both issues have been resolved and Reddick is now the winner of the Daytona 500. On Sunday he only led one lap, but it was the only lap that mattered. Reddick’s move to move ahead of the field in the final seconds – snatching the lead as a large debris burst behind him – was a masterclass in driving. The No. 45 car has returned to its 2024 form, meaning Reddick is a legitimate championship contender this season.

Loser: BJ McLeod

BJ McLeod gained a spot in the Daytona 500 field after Anthony Alfredo failed post-qualifying inspection. However, his luck was short-lived, as disaster struck just five laps into the Great American Race. A right-rear tire failure caused the No. 78 to spin sideways; The ensuing damage destroyed the braking system and forced him to end his day.

Winner: Bubba Wallace

Had William Byron not cut in front of him and forced a sudden deceleration – to which the No. 23 team did a great job reacting and avoiding a massive crash – Bubba Wallace would have finished in the top five at the Daytona 500. Nevertheless, he finished 10th, won Stage 2, and led the most laps in NASCAR’s season-opening race. Wallace seemed to have some good luck today, finding debris that his car may have been magnetized to in the past. What matters is that he looks like a top-10 driver once again on superspeedways, building on his success at the end of the season in 2024. Furthermore, he starts the season with a solid 37 points.

Loser: William Byron

There are a few reasons why no one has won the Daytona 500 three consecutive times; Bad luck almost always plays a role. William Byron entered Sunday in an unfavorable situation, after an incident in the Duel at Daytona forced him to use the backup car. Just five laps in, BJ McLeod suffered a tire failure and a subsequent crash just before the No. 24 led to Byron making heavy contact with the wall. The damage required three separate trips to pit road under caution. Afterwards, he crashed into the wall again and then got caught in the “major incident” resulting in even more damage at the end of Stage 2. However, all things considered, finishing in 12th place isn’t so bad, considering everything that came before it.

Winner: Shane van Gisbergen

Few would have assumed that the changes NASCAR made in 2026 — eliminating the “win-and-you’re-in” playoff format and reducing the number of road-course races — would keep Shane Van Gisbergen out of the Chase this year. At Sunday’s Daytona 500, SVG showed why that’s not the case. He didn’t just perform well on superspeedways; He led several laps and spent a significant portion of the race at the front of the field. He has clearly begun to master the art of oval racing, and today’s performance is the latest example of his improvement on the superspeedway. SVG is an even better driver than 2025. Unfortunately, his total points today will not show it because he has got into big trouble.

Loser: Chase Briscoe

Coming off a highly successful first season in the No. 19 car with Joe Gibbs Racing, Chase Briscoe had a relatively strong Stage 1, leading 23 laps. Unfortunately, a run of luck struck him at the start of Stage 2. When Connor Zylisch got loose at the front of the field, the pack piled up and Ross Chastain got in front of Cody Ware’s right. Ware then broke loose and collided with Brisco. As the No. 19 slid down the infield and into the pit lane, it was T-boned by Austin Dillon. The damage caused Briscoe’s car to be sent to the garage for significant repairs, knocking him out of contention on Sunday. He would leave Daytona in last place among full-time drivers in points.

Winner: Zane Smith

In 2025, Zane Smith led only 22 laps in 36 races and failed to score a single stage win. He immediately changed his fortunes at the start of the 2026 campaign. By increasing his fuel while most of the field was pitting, Smith led nine laps and won Stage 1 to collect 10 points. It was a risky strategy – as evidenced by Noah Gragson running out of fuel shortly after – but Smith made it work, scoring his first career stage win and leading both the first laps at Daytona. Smith finished the day in sixth, marking a top-10 finish to start the season and demonstrating the potential for a breakout year.

Loser: Denny Hamlin

We’ll start with this: The Big One wasn’t Denny Hamlin’s fault. The No. 11 made an aggressive move to the high side in a tight gap, but Justin Allgaier reacted too late when attempting to block, causing a pileup behind Hamlin. This seems especially painful for the future Hall of Famer; After a disappointing performance in the duel, he returned to the front and set himself up for the Stage 2 victory. Allgaier’s mistake wiped out that progress, resulting in the destruction of 19 other cars. It’s been an extremely difficult year for Hamlin, both on and off the track. With 10 laps remaining, Hamlin again set himself up for a strong finish until his favorite young driver got by him. 23XI Racing’s Corey Heim contacted Hamlin and passed the No. 11 to teammate Christopher Bell. No. 20’s loss ended its day and No. 11 suffered its own loss. Ultimately, he finished the day in 31st place and possibly ruined any good feelings he had as a co-owner of 23XI Racing.

Winner: Chris Buescher

Forced to start the race from the back of the field in the backup car, Chris Buescher showed why he is one of the most underrated drivers in NASCAR. The No. 17 fought hard to finish fifth in Stage 1 (6 points) and followed that up with a sixth-place effort in Stage 2 (5 points). Having collected the second-most stage points (11) earlier in the day, Buescher kept himself at the front of the field to finish seventh and demonstrate why he is a strong contender for top-eight points this year.

Loser: Connor Zylisch

Connor Zylisch is one of the best NASCAR prospects of the modern era, but the “broadcast curse” eventually gets to everyone. As the FOX crew began praising the 19-year-old for maintaining a top-three finish, the No. 88 broke loose and caused the first major crash of the day. Ultimately, the mistake was caused by Zylisch’s inexperience driving a Next Gen car on a superspeedway. He’ll learn with time, but the Daytona 500 humbles every driver, and Zylisch experienced that firsthand today.

Winner: 23XI Racing

Michael Jordan took NASCAR to court to overturn the system he believed to be flawed, resulting in a multi-million dollar settlement and teams eventually receiving permanent charters. Clearly, the hunger to win on NASCAR’s biggest stage remains through 2026. Jordan celebrates as 23XI’s Tyler Reddick wins the Daytona 500 with an incredible finish. The trophy is headed home, and Jordan can also be proud of the fact that Bubba Wallace finished 10th with a Stage 2 win, Corey Haim ran at the front of the field during the race, and Riley Herbst finished eighth. This is an impressive start to the 2026 season for 23XI Racing.

Loser: Carson Hocevar

Did Carson Hocevar offend the NASCAR gods at Daytona? Tire problems derailed his chances in the Truck Series, and a series of chaotic events forced him out of the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race on Saturday. Entering the final lap of the Daytona 500, the No. 77 was looking for his first career Cup Series win as the race leader. However, he was knocked out and pinned to the wall. Hocevar was effectively dead in the water at that point, losing control and ultimately finishing 18th.

Winner: Riley Herbst

Ignore the circulating narrative: Tyler Reddick definitely had help from a teammate on the way to his Daytona 500 victory. However, one can show some leniency toward the team, as few expected it to be teammate Riley Herbst – who failed to record a single top-12 finish last season – who pushed the No. 45 to victory. Herbst played the best teammate role, using the No. 35 car to pass Reddick for the lead and then making sure Chase Elliott couldn’t make a desperate bid for the win. Additionally, Herbst secured eighth place for himself. While it is widely known that Herbst has entered the hot seat in 2026, this selfless performance will earn him significant credit within the 23XI organization.
