Michael Jordan is now one step away from winning a NASCAR Cup Series championship as an owner, and it's all thanks to the driver of the No. 45 'Beast' Toyota Camry.
NBA legend Michael Jordan is a longtime NASCAR fan, but he only became an owner in 2021. Since then, the team known as 23XI Racing has won Cup races with Kurt Busch, Bubba Wallace, and Tyler Reddick. But they've never been part of the Championship 4 -- until now. Jordan was in attendance on Sunday, watching on nervously as Reddick charged from third to first over the course of the final lap, stunning his rivals and securing the victory.
' MJ finally caught up to Reddick mid-interview, lifting him up off the ground as they embraced. 'Yeah baby! Good job, kid,' he exclaimed.

'It's special, man,' said Reddick.
