"Michael Jordan was celebrating on Sunday after NASCAR driver Tyler Reddick won the Daytona 500 for his 23XI Racing team a victory that came just a few months after the basketball legend and NASCAR settled his federal antitrust lawsuit with NASCAR. Reddick was trailing behind two other drivers when the final lap started, but he was able to navigate his way through a big wreck ahead of him and zoom to the front, right as the race finished."
"Communication the thing is, both sides have been somewhat at a stalemate and we both needed to have conversations about change, how we can grow this sport, Jordan told Fox Sports. Unfortunately, we had to go through what we had to go through last summer. But I think coming out of that, you have a much better appreciation for each other"
