The 23XI Racing team made history on Sunday. For the first time in NASCAR history, a racer won the first three races of a season as Tyler Reddick took the checkered flag on Sunday at the DuraMAX Texas Grand Prix near Austin.
It was the third-straight win for Reddick, opening up the season on a hot note. Reddick is one a handful of 23XI Racing drivers competing this year as the team is owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin. As the race ended and they headed to the winner’s circle, Jordan was interviewed and offered his thoughts on the start to the race season for his team.
And he’s proud of what they have accomplished.

Jordan was interviewed after the race by FOX reporter Kaitlyn Vincie, who asked the GOAT about winning three-straight races.
“I’m proud of the team that we put together. Denny [Hamlin] I’m pretty sure is the same way, he feels the same way as I do,” Jordan said. “I think a lot of credit goes to him because he’s the mastermind behind finding Tyler [Reddick]. . . Look, I just put up the money. I’m just a competitor. I think Denny has done an unbelievable job in helping me build this team. I think the team has done a good job in just taking our leadership and going out and winning. That’s what it’s about. Winning.”
23XI has done a lot of winning over these past three weeks which has brought a smile to Jordan’s face. It’s cool to see Jordan be so open and excited about this sport, something he has a passion for. That’s not only good for the sport but for the fans of it as well.
His team is now delivering in a big way too.
