Michael Jordan celebrated Tyler Reddick's Talladega win by picking up the NASCAR driver's son
Michael Jordan, as we all know, is the most competitive.
And when he wins? We know he’s overjoyed. But in the five times his team, 23XI Racing, has won a NASCAR race, he hasn’t been in attendance.
As for No. 6? On Sunday, his driver, Tyler Reddick won at Talladega, and you can imagine how happy he was in the moment.
“Everybody tells me when we win, we can have a good celebration,” Jordan told Fox Sports after the win. “But this is the first time I’ve been here. And to my wife and my kids and everybody — yeah, we did it!”
How happy was he? He picked up Reddick’s son and chatted with him before meeting up with the driver:
