I was reading about it, and I was like, oh, let me Google Daytona 500.
The fact that a two-time XFINITY Series champion, Tyler Reddick, who was actually behind the wheel, had to take a backseat to Michael Jordan, who's just the team owner.
is crazy work the daytona 500 for those of you who are not in the know who are not maybe gear heads who maybe weren't raised within a couple hours drive of talladega like i was the daytona 500 is the super bowl of racing i know it's funny but racing starts with their biggest race first in the season that's how they kick things off
And Michael Jordan won this as an owner, not as a driver.
But who do you want to hear from first?
You want to hear from MJ.
And congratulations to Tyler Reddick, by the way.
But Michael Jordan, let you know, I wear a size 13 ring and I know my ring size because I got plenty.
I got plenty of rings.
I just think it's almost a moment in time in that Michael Jordan's so excited that
as owner of a racing team in a way he never could be from the basketball team, the Charlotte Hornets, Bobcats, whatever you want to call them, that he used to own.
And it went opposite of the NBA All-Star Game.
So, listen, his name is Michael Jordan.
He is who he is, so he's going to always get attention, especially when his team ended up winning.
But I don't think this is necessarily the first time an owner of a racing team has gotten attention in this way either.
Hall of Fame, head coach Joe Gibbs, Super Bowl champion, and the legendary owner of Joe Gibbs Racing.
There was a point where kids were born who only knew Joe Gibbs from the NASCAR side, not the football side.
That could never happen to Michael Jordan, by the way.
No, but I'm just saying, like, Joe Gibbs is in the Football Hall of Fame and then had his career as a legendary owner in NASCAR.
So, like, we've seen it before.
