Tyler Reddick needs no pep talk or motivation when it comes to winning his first Cup Series title. He drives for Michael Jordan and the NBA Hall of Famer collected six championships in his unwavering desire for excellence at all times.

Ahead of this weekend’s title race in Phoenix, Michael Jordan’s lawsuit alleging anticompetitive behavior in Nascar is ongoing.

Jordan showed that after Reddick’s dramatic victory two weeks ago at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Reddick went from third to first on the last lap, passing Ryan Blaney for the win. As Jordan headed to Victory Lane, he told Burns: “Little kid drove his ass off.”
