NASCAR driver Tyler Reddick secured his third consecutive win to open the 2026 season at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. Reddick is the first driver in history to achieve this feat.
He held off competitor Shane van Gisbergen in the closing laps. Reddick's winning streak began with victories at Daytona and Atlanta.
Michael Jordan's 23XI Racing team is experiencing a strong start, following a significant antitrust lawsuit settlement with NASCAR that secured the team's long-term future.
Jordan credited co-owner Denny Hamlin for the team's racing success, stating, "I just put up the money. Denny’s done an incredible job building this team."
Jordan plans to attend the next race in Phoenix, where Reddick will aim for a fourth consecutive win.
This marks Reddick's 11th career victory and his second at the Circuit of the Americas.
