Michael Jordan Wins First Daytona 500 as NASCAR Owner Thanks to Driver’s Final-Lap Surge

Michael Jordan finally has his Daytona 500 moment — and Tyler Reddick delivered it.

Reddick won NASCAR’s biggest race in dramatic fashion, making a last-lap move to capture the Daytona 500 for 23XI Racing — the team co-owned by Jordan and Denny Hamlin. It marks the first Daytona 500 victory for Jordan as a team owner.

The race came down to chaos at the end. Reddick led only one lap all day — the final one — pulling off a late pass as crashes unfolded behind him to steal the win.

Top 3 finishers:

Tyler Reddick — Winner

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. — 2nd

Joey Logano — 3rd
