NASCAR driver Tyler Reddick has helped 23XI Racing, owned by NBA icon Michael Jordan, establish a championship pedigree.
Reddick, 30, has won five of his first nine races in 2026. He is the fourth driver in NASCAR history to win five of the first nine races, joining Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Cale Yarborough.
Although Reddick didn't mention the specifics of the deal, 23XI Racing co-owner Denny Hamlin said that the driver "got the bag."
"I was in charge of this one," Hamlin said on his Actions Detrimental podcast. "My man got the bag. I look out for my guys."
Even at a premium cost, Hamlin was pleased to extend the NASCAR star.
"Happy to get that done. He's going to be here for a very long time. I said for a long time that he deserves everything he gets. He's performing at a very, very high level; he's got a 100-point lead in the Cup Series. He's just kicking a**, and we're very happy that he's going to be in that No. 45 for some time."
Since joining 23XI Racing in 2023, Reddick has not let his foot off the gas. The California-born driver has won at least one race in every season he's been with Jordan's 23XI Racing.
Now, Reddick aims to continue his winning ways as a member of Jordan 23XI Racing.
