The biggest story of the NASCAR season so far has been 23XI Racing’s Tyler Reddick. After winning the first three races of the year including his first Daytona 500, Reddick hit a bit of a ‘slump’ recently. But on Sunday, he found himself in the winner’s circle again.

Reddick took the checkered flag at the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway, winning his fourth race of the season. He did so while needing a new battery and also not having his cool suit work all day. So you could say that Reddick had to overcome some important factors.

But even so, it’s another win for 23XI Racing and team owner Michael Jordan as was excited once again following the win.

In all four wins for Reddick this season, there’s been a common theme: Michael Jordan has been in attendance. The co-owner of 23XI Racing has been a success story in NASCAR this season, earning a win in this lawsuit and then four checkered flags.

Following this win, Jordan was once again fired up for Reddick.

“I’m pretty sure it was frustrating for him because he had an unbelievable car. And, you know, you never know what’s gonna happen, especially at Darlington,” Jordan said in a post-race interview. “And I think that, you know, the key to him winning was, you know, just keeping his head. You know, I think Billy did a good job of trying to keep him calm. . . So we just had to get the car right. And, you know, he kept his composure, and I think he did an unbelievable job.”

Jordan showed his emotion after the race, running down to celebrate once again with Reddick and the team.
