Michael Jordan is trending again after a moment during a NASCAR celebration quickly made its way across social media.
Michael Jordan was once again involved in another bizarre incident as he celebrated his NASCAR team’s latest victory on Sunday. The moment happened at Kansas Speedway, where Jordan’s 23XI Racing team secured another major win.
His 23XI Racing driver, Tyler Reddick, continued his strong performance as he roared past Kyle Larson on the final lap of overtime to win at Kansas Speedway on Sunday.
In doing so, he became the fourth driver to win five of the first nine races in NASCAR’s top series in a season. However, in that same race, Denny Hamlin, who co-owns 23XI Racing along with NBA icon Jordan, finished in fourth place and was unable to secure a podium position. As Hamlin exited his car, he appeared visibly frustrated after missing out on a top-three finish. Moments later, Jordan approached him during the post-race celebration.
Hamlin was instantly mobbed by Jordan, who celebrated their team’s victory by wrapping his hand around Hamlin’s throat in a choking pose and kissing him on the head. While Jordan did that, Hamlin remained serious and did not appear amused by the interaction.
Tyler Reddick’s Win Continues Dominant Run For 23XI Racing
Tyler Reddick’s victory played a major role in the moment gaining attention. His performance has been one of the standout storylines in NASCAR this season.
Reddick’s late move on Kyle Larson in overtime showed both precision and confidence. He managed to take control in the final moments, securing another win for 23XI Racing.
With this result, Reddick joins a small group of drivers who have managed to win five of the first nine races in NASCAR’s top series. That statistic highlights how dominant he has been early in the season.
Additionally, the win reinforces the continued growth of 23XI Racing as a competitive force in the sport. Since its formation, the team has steadily improved, and results like this show their ability to compete at the highest level.
Meanwhile, although Hamlin did not finish on the podium, his performance still contributed to the team’s overall success during the race weekend.
