Michael Jordan is back in victory lane. On Sunday evening, Tyler Reddick and the No. 45 team pulled off the victory in the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway. Reddick was able to pass Kyle Larson in the closing laps; however, it didn't come before a late-race caution as Denny Hamlin was about to take the white flag.

Following the event, Jordan talked about Reddick's victory to the FOX Sports broadcast. The 23XI Racing driver's fifth win of 2026 has the NBA legend excited, but he is also happy for bragging rights over Hamlin.

"Look, I’m racing against [Denny Hamlin]," Jordan said. "I really wanted to beat him because I know we’re going to talk a lot of trash a little bit later It was a good race. When we started to run out of fuel, I didn’t know what was happening. [23XI Racing], all the guys drove well today. All four cars in the top 15. That says a lot about the program. This kid is on fire. I don’t know if I can cool [Tyler Reddick] down. He is unbelievable. Unbelievable last couple laps. I’m proud of the whole team. When you win, it’s always fun. Right now it’s fun for everybody at 23XI. Me being here and being able to see all the wins, I am so happy for the team. I just think we need to continually build on this, without a doubt."

Reddick has won five of the first nine races of the 2026 NASCAR season and Jordan has been present for all of them. It has been a sensational start for the 23XI Racing driver and Jordan is enjoying his spot in victory lane. At this rate, Jordan might have to attend every NASCAR Cup Series race for the rest of the season.
