Tyler Reddick’s son had some interesting experiences at Talladega. Reddick, along with NBA legend Michael Jordan, ended 23XI Racing’s losing streak in the race. Reddick took advantage of a late crash to secure the win. Celebrating with his family and the racing team, Reddick enjoyed his first victory at a Superspeedway.
Jordan, who co-owns 23XI Racing, was present at the victory celebration. It was a special moment as the team achieved its first win with Jordan as co-owner. The No. 45 Camry, with the Nike Air Jordan paint scheme, added significance to the victory. Jordan and Reddick celebrated together, marking a unique moment for both.
On pit road, Jordan had an emotional interaction with Reddick’s son. He held the four-year-old boy in his arms and jokingly asked if he would celebrate the win. The innocent boy responded with a smile, creating a joyful moment. Jordan laughed before returning the child to Reddick’s girlfriend.
Another driver, Denny Hamlin, spoke to the press about this interaction. He mentioned that the child may not fully understand the importance of the moment now, but it will be something he can brag about in the future. Reddick also commented on the moment, expressing how much it means to him and how his son will appreciate it even more as he grows up.
These moments on pit road highlight the dynamic and culture of the team at 23XI Racing. The team aims to continue securing wins and competing for championships with Reddick and Bubba Wallace.
