Michael Jordan’s championship days may be behind him on the basketball court, but his competitive fire still burns bright in a new arena. As the owner of the 23XI NASCAR team, Jordan has been striving for victory in the sport.

His persistence finally bore fruit when his driver crossed the finish line under the checkered flag. It was Jordan’s first time at the racetrack, and perhaps his presence brought some luck to his team. Following the win, MJ took to the podium for an interview, sharing his thoughts with fans and the media.

“As you know, the NBA playoffs are going on right now, so this is, to me, like an NBA playoffs game. I am so ecstatic, obviously for the fans who support the sport itself. We’ve been working hard to get ourselves up to where we can compete against all the top guys in this sport… For us to win a big race like this means so much to me,” said Jordan.

Jordan may also owe a debt of gratitude to Lady Luck for his team’s triumph, as 23XI’s driver Tyler Reddick clinched first place thanks to Michael McDowell’s crash just before the finish line. While the circumstances may have been fortuitous, the outcome speaks for itself, marking a significant milestone for 23XI Racing with their inaugural victory.
