Tyler Reddick recreates Michael Jordan’s epic 3-peat photo after COTA win
On Sunday, Tyler Reddick made NASCAR history by becoming the first driver since 1949 win the first three races of the season. He came to the Circuit of the Americas in the DuraMAX Texas Grand Prix. Right next to him was the owner of his car, Michael Jordan.
Jordan sure knows a thing or two about three-peats.
After the win, Redick decided to respect of its car owner by recreating Jordan’s iconic three-peat image.

The original image was taken after Game 6 of the 1993 NBA Finals. The Chicago Bulls swept the Phoenix Suns in a tough six-game series for their first three games. At the time, the Bulls were the first team in NBA history since the Celtics dynasty of the 1960s to win three consecutive championships.
A year later, Jordan had a bat and a glove in hand while playing for the Birmingham Barons in minor league baseball. In 1995 he returned, and by the next season the Bulls were back on top. From 1996 to 1998, Jordan and company achieved their second trophy.
Jordan co-owns 23KSI Racing with NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin. In addition to Reddick, Bubba Wallace drives the No. 45 Toyota Camry. Riley Herbst drives the No. 35 Toyota, and Corey Heim is the development driver.
It’s Reddick wins the Daytona 500 and the winning the Autotrader 400 next weekend.
Jordan has been involved with 23KSI Racing since 2020. They have won 12 races in total. Recently, Jordan has been having a hard time involved in antitrust litigation against NASCAR regarding their charter system. A settlement was eventually reached, giving the team owners permanent charters.
