Tyler Reddick Wins Daytona 500 on Final-Lap Move, Securing 23XI’s First Victory

The result follows Michael Jordan’s antitrust case that altered NASCAR revenue sharing.

Overview

  • Reddick prevailed after contact with Chase Elliott on the last lap, sending Elliott into a crash as Reddick led his only lap of the race to the checkered flag.
  • A late caution from a Denny HamlinChristopher Bell incident with nine laps remaining created the sprint that decided the finish.
  • Ricky Stenhouse Jr. finished second with Joey Logano third and Elliott classified fourth, giving Toyota, Chevrolet and Ford spots on the podium.
  • Michael Jordan celebrated in Victory Lane and said the win “feels like a championship,” while teammate Bubba Wallace led laps but ended 10th and received consoling words from Jordan.
  • A post-race video of Jordan interacting with Tyler Reddick’s young son drew divided reactions online, with criticism from some users and defenses from others, and no formal responses from those involved.
