Since The Last Dance came out nearly six years ago, it might seem like Michael Jordan has been relatively off the radar. Racing fans, though, are well aware of what Jordan has been getting up to. Spoiler alert: The GOAT likely hasn't had a happier two-week stretch since the Bulls were winning titles.
Jordan is the owner of 23XI Racing, which competes in the NASCAR Cup Series. The team's name is derived from Jordan's jersey (23) and the car number (11) of the team's co-owner, Denny Hamlin. Is Hamlin still driving in the Cup Series? Yes. Is he a member of his own racing team? No. Racing is cool like that.
Two weeks ago, the NASCAR season began at Daytona International Speedway. Tyler Reddick, driving the No. 45 car for 23XI, beat everyone to the line to win the Super Bowl of racing for the first time in his career. Despite being one of the most consistent drivers in the Cup Series last year, Reddick was winless in 2025.
"I can't even believe it. It was so gratifying," Jordan said after Reddick's win. "I'm ecstatic. I don't even know what to say. It feels like I won a championship."
