When Michael Jordan became the owner of a NASCAR team in 2020, many wondered if he’d be able to add another title to his resume. Jordan failed to win another NBA championship as an owner of the Charlotte Hornets, but he had better luck in NASCAR on Sunday.
Jordan, who is the co-owner of 23XI Racing and his driver, Tyler Reddick, won the Daytona 500 after a messy finish. This was the first Daytona 500 victory for Jordan’s team.
“It’s like winning a championship, like a huge championship,” Jordan said. “Unbelievable.”
Jordan hasn’t played an NBA game since 2003 or appeared in the playoffs since 1998, but once again he finds himself a champion.
