Tyler Reddick’s son had some interesting experiences at Talladega. Reddick, along with NBA legend Michael Jordan, ended 23XI Racing’s winless streak at the race. Reddick took advantage of a late wreck to secure the victory. Celebrating with his family and the racing team, Reddick enjoyed his first Superspeedway win.
Jordan, who co-owns 23XI Racing, was present at the victory celebration. It was a special moment as the team achieved their first win with Jordan as their co-owner. The No:45 Camry, featuring the Nike Air Jordan paint scheme, added to the significance of the victory. Jordan and Reddick celebrated together, marking a unique moment for both of them.
On the pit-road, Jordan had a heartwarming interaction with Reddick’s son. He held the four-year-old in his arms and jokingly asked if he would celebrate the win. The young boy innocently responded with a smile, creating a joyful moment. Jordan laughed before returning the child to Reddick’s girlfriend.
Denny Hamlin, another racer, spoke to the media about this interaction. He mentioned that the child may not fully understand the significance of the moment now, but it will be something he can brag about in the future. Reddick also commented on the moment, expressing how much it means to him and how his son will appreciate it even more as he grows older.
These moments on the pit-road highlight the team dynamic and culture at 23XI Racing. The team aims to continue securing victories and competing for championships with Reddick and Bubba Wallace.
