Tyler Reddick wins NASCAR Daytona 500 in Michael Jordan-owned car
**Michael Jordan's Sweet Victory: Tyler Reddick Wins Daytona 500 in the NBA Legend's Car** In a thrilling turn of events, Toyota Racing driver Tyler Reddick has clinched the coveted title of Daytona 500 champion, making history in the process. But what's even more remarkable is that Reddick drove the car co-owned by none other than the legendary Michael Jordan, a six-time NBA champion. For those who may not know, the Daytona 500 is NASCAR's biggest and most prestigious race, and winning it is considered the pinnacle of achievement for any driver. Reddick's victory on Sunday at the Daytona International Speedway was a testament to his skill and determination, as he pulled off a last-lap pass to take the chequered flag.
