He may have turned 63 a few weeks ago, but Michael Jordan can’t stop his winning ways in professional sports — just not the sport you think.
Now in his sixth year as co-owner of a NASCAR team, Jordan’s 23XI Racing has swept the first three races of the 2026 season. (The team’s name refers to Jordan’s famous No. 23 jersey and co-owner Denny Hamlin, who drives the No. 11 Toyota.) Driver Tyler Reddick won not just the “Super Bowl of Stock Car Racing” in the Daytona 500 but the subsequent two races as well. A three-race winning streak to start the season is unprecedented in NASCAR history. And Michael Jordan being involved with a “three-peat” — imagine that.
