NASCAR team owner Michael Jordan celebrated his 23XI Racing's win at Talladega Superspeedway with his driver's son, Beau, as Tyler Reddick stole the show in the most dramatic of ways at this year's race.
Footage on X shows Jordan carrying Reddick's four-year-old son after his team's surprise win on Sunday, with reporters swarming around the six-time NBA champion to capture his reaction.
The 61-year-old Jordan, who first got involved in racing back in 2020, can be heard telling Beau that his father did a 'great job' before asking the preschooler: 'You going to celebrate?'
'Yeah!' replied Beau, as hugs and high-fives among 23XI Racing team members went around.
Reddick ran away with the victory in Alabama, when front-runner Michael McDowell, swerved up and down the track trying to block Brad Keselowski before wounding up crashing with the finish line in sight.

It was a typical Talladega finish - and set off a raucous celebration on pit road with Jordan.
'This is like an NBA playoff game,' the Basketball Hall of Famer said in Victory Lane. 'I'm so ecstatic.'
McDowell, the pole-sitter, was in position to give Ford its much-needed first victory of the year, but his topsy-turvy efforts to block Keselowski - another Ford driver - wound up costing them both.
McDowell spun out, Keselowski had to check up and Reddick sped by to win by 0.166 seconds.

A pile of cars behind them was taken out, as well. Corey LaJoie's No. 7 machine slid across the finish line on its side, pinned against the wall in front the massive grandstands.
Reddick climbed out of his No. 45 car and scurried up the fence like Spider-Man.
'That was crazy, fans,' he screamed. 'Chaos. Typical Talladega.'
Keselowski settled for second, failing again to pick up his first win since 2021 at this 2.66-mile trioval in east Alabama.
'We went to make a move and Michael covered it,' Keselowski said. 'We went the other way and had nowhere to go when Michael came back down. It's just the way this stuff goes.'
