"Tyler Reddick held off hard-charging Shane van Gisbergen over the final 20 laps at the Circuit of the Americas on Sunday to become the first Cup Series driver to win the first three races of the season. Driving a Toyota co-owned by Michael Jordan, the Corning native won the season-opening Daytona 500 and a week later at Atlanta, then won from the pole in the first road course race of the year."
"Jordan, the basketball Hall of Famer and six-time NBA champion, was with Reddick's 23XI pit crew exchanging high fives as Reddick crossed the finish line. It's one race, but it was so important, Reddick said. It's so fitting to get three in a row and make history."
"I'm proud of the team we put together, Jordan said. He credited co-owner Denny Hamlin, who also is a driver for Joe Gibbs Racing, with being the mastermind behind its racing success. I just put up the money, Jordan said. Denny's done an incredible job building this team."
Tyler Reddick made NASCAR history by winning the first three races of the 2025 season, defeating Shane van Gisbergen in a close finish at Circuit of the Americas. Driving a Toyota for 23XI Racing, co-owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, Reddick previously won the Daytona 500 and the Atlanta race. This achievement marks a significant milestone for the team, which recently secured a major legal victory through an antitrust settlement that ensured long-term franchise stability. Michael Jordan attended the race and credited co-owner Denny Hamlin with building the team's racing success. Reddick now holds a commanding 70-point lead in the drivers' championship standings.
