The NASCAR season officially gets underway on Sunday with one of the biggest races of the year — the Daytona 500. The annual race kicks off the season as it brings out some of the best fans in racing to Daytona.
For 23XI Racing, they are hoping this is finally the year they can win the Cup Series title this year whether it be Tyler Reddick or Bubba Wallace. But as the two drivers prepare for Sunday’s big race, one of them revealed a message that team owner Michael Jordan passed on.

Ahead of Sunday’s race, Wallace actually saw Jordan on the golf course, most likely Grove XXIII the personal course for Jordan in Florida. The two hung out and during media day at the Daytona 500, Wallace shared the message that Jordan gave him.
“I actually seen him yesterday on the golf course,” Wallace said, via Rich Jones of Daily Express U.S. “We had a good leadership meeting a couple of weeks ago. He’s fired up, it’s a new season, it’s a clean slate, and we’re ready to go get it.”
Jordan has made an impact in racing with owning 23XII Racing. But he’s yet to win a title in the sport, something he would love to add to his resume. Wallace added just how much Jordan loves the sport as well.
“Yeah, we’ve both been fans of the sport, he’s been a lot longer fan than I have, but we understand what it takes to be successful and to win at this level is super hard, but when you have the right people surrounding you, then sky’s the limit,” Wallace continued. “So, put it all together.”
A win at Daytona for Wallace or Reddick would be awesome and would help the 23XI legacy even more.
