NASCAR team owner Michael Jordan celebrated his 23XI Racing victory at Talladega Superspeedway with his driver’s son, Beau, while Tyler Reddick stole the show in the most dramatic way possible at this year’s race.

Jordan is seen carrying Reddick’s four-year-old son after his team’s surprising victory on Sunday, with media gathering around the six-time NBA champion to catch his response.

Jordan, 61, who started racing in 2020, can be heard assuring Beau that his father did a ‘wonderful job’ before asking the preschooler, ‘You going to celebrate?’

‘Yeah!’ Beau answered as the 23XI Racing team members exchanged hugs and high-fives.

Reddick easily won in Alabama as front-runner Michael McDowell skidded up and down the course attempting to stop Brad Keselowski before colliding with the finish line in sight.

It was a traditional Talladega finish, which sparked a wild celebration on pit road with Jordan.

‘This is like an NBA playoff game,’ the Basketball Hall of Famer stated in Victory Lane. ‘I’m very happy.’

McDowell, the pole-sitter, was in position to deliver Ford its much-needed first victory of the year, but his erratic attempts to block Keselowski, another Ford driver, cost them both.

McDowell spun out, forcing Keselowski to check up, and Reddick surged past to win by 0.166 seconds.
A pile of cars behind them was also wiped out. Corey LaJoie’s No. 7 motorcycle skidded crossed the finish line on its side, pinned to the wall in front of the large grandstands.

Reddick got out of his No. 45 automobile and scurried up the fence like Spider-Man.

‘That was wild, fans,’ he exclaimed. ‘Chaos. Typical Talladega.

Keselowski finished second again, failing to win his first race since 2021 at this 2.66-mile trioval in east Alabama.
‘We went to make a move, and Michael covered it,’ Keselowski explained. “We ran the opposite direction and had nowhere to go when Michael came back down. It’s just the way things go.
