The 2026 Daytona 500 concluded with a historic victory for Tyler Reddick, marking a pivotal moment for 23XI Racing. The race set a new standard for competition with a record-breaking 25 different leaders across 201 laps of high-octane action. Mid-race intensity peaked during Stage 2 when a massive 20-car "Big One" reshaped the field after contact between Justin Allgaier and Denny Hamlin. As the white flag waved, rookie Carson Hocevar led the pack but faced heartbreak after spinning out in Turn 1. This shift handed the lead to Chase Elliott, who seemed destined for his first crown jewel victory until the final seconds. Tyler Reddick, fueled by a powerful draft from teammate Riley Herbst, executed a perfectly timed surge in the final 500 yards. While Reddick crossed the finish line cleanly, chaos erupted behind him as cars slid sideways in a frantic dash for top-five positions. Statistically, Reddick’s triumph was a masterclass in timing, as he led only the final lap of the entire event. Despite the Toyota win, Ford displayed remarkable consistency by placing five drivers in the top ten finishers. For team co-owner Michael Jordan, the win felt like a championship, ending a drought and cementing Reddick's place in Daytona history.
