23XI Racing begins the NASCAR Cup Series season with a rare sweep, a 3-0 start that hands the team immediate momentum and a growing points advantage while marking a milestone for owner Michael Jordan.
Tyler Reddick’s latest victory completed the streak, making him the first driver to win the opening three races of a season, including the Daytona 500. The run also made 23XI the first team since 1963 to sweep the first three events on the schedule.
After the checkered flag, Jordan reflected on the accomplishment and praised his driver and staff. “Look, I just put up the money… Tyler did a good job.
He beat some good competition. I’m proud of the team we put together…” he said, and he singled out his co-founder’s role, “I think Denny’s done an unbelievable job in terms of helping build this team.
That’s what it’s about. Winning.” Those remarks framed the sweep as both a validation of the team’s construction and a payoff for sustained investment.
Jordan also acknowledged the extra pressure that accompanied the third straight win, saying, “Tyler came in with the most pressure, I guess… Everybody expected him, or he had a chance to win three in a row.
That’s the hardest one to win.” With the early-season sweep complete, 23XI Racing heads to the next race carrying tangible momentum and a points cushion the organization can defend.
For Jordan, the run represents a notable turning point, a moment when years of owning and funding the team have begun to produce consistent, headline-making results.
