Reddick Wins Daytona 500 for Jordan's 23XI

Tyler Reddick captured his first Daytona 500 title in dramatic fashion, leading only the final lap to secure a monumental victory for Michael Jordan's 23XI Racing team.

Starting from 26th position, Reddick capitalized on chaos during the final lap when leader Carson Hocevar was knocked out in a crash. The No. 45 driver then navigated around Chase Elliott in the final turn while teammate Riley Herbst cleared the path, allowing Reddick to escape another wreck behind him.

The triumph marks the first Daytona 500 win for 23XI Racing, which Jordan co-owns with Denny Hamlin. Reddick avoided 'The Big One' multi-car crash on Lap 124 that took out 20 drivers, positioning himself perfectly for the late-race heroics.
