Tyler Reddick attributes his recent NASCAR success to Michael Jordan's blunt feedback, which served as a strong motivator. Reddick shared on Kevin Harvick's Happy Hour podcast that Jordan's criticism of his speedway racing skills before his first year with 23XI Racing pushed him to improve. His efforts led to him winning the NASCAR Cup Series Regular Season championship and the spring Talladega Cup Series race. Jordan, co-owner of 23XI Racing, has been instrumental in the team's progress, bringing a competitive edge from his NBA experience. However, 23XI Racing faces challenges, including unresolved charter agreements for the 2025 season, which could impact team morale and future participation.
