ES Insider reveals Michael Jordan sold $61.5 million worth of vehicles at Talladega

Last weekend’s YellaWood 500 proved to be a spectacular spectacle. Set as the final race before the Charlotte Roval elimination event, it was a wildcard race full of anticipation, as the drivers prepared to show their full potential on the asphalt. Amidst the roaring engines and adrenaline-pumping action of the Wildcard Race, the garage area hosted its own star-studded cast. NBA legend Michael Jordan, master of the 23XI Racing team, was in the middle of it all.

Witnessing one of the most impressive seasons in the team’s brief history in the Cup Series, the #45 and #23 cars were ready to tackle the challenging 2.66-mile track. Jordan’s unwavering attention was entirely on his drivers, who were eagerly anticipating a successful performance. However, the online media’s eyes were glued to the spectacle that unfolded when Jordan showed off his smooth ride on the Alabama runway.

Michael Jordan shows off his massive vehicle with a shocking price

As EssentialSports’ insider reported, Jordan landed on Alabama soil in a grand entrance, stepping out of a luxurious, winged private jet. His trusted steed to reach the NASCAR spectacle was none other than the Gulfstream G550, a luxury private jet renowned for its opulence and quality, favored by elite athletes such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Tiger Woods.

Jordan’s powerful Gulfstream G550, with a staggering price tag of $61.5 million, graced the Alabama runway during Talladega race weekend. This notable acquisition is one of the many assets that clearly shows his huge net worth. Some time ago, it was reported that the Chicago Bulls legend has amassed an astonishing net worth of $3 billion, a feat that has catapulted him into the elite ranks of the Forbes 400 elite.

Moving away from the familiar hardwood of the basketball court, the Hall of Famer was spotted on the asphalt of the longest oval on the NASCAR calendar, making his presence felt on the track. After the race he was seen talking to his drivers, Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace, and gave them his support as the 23XI pair finished 16th and 23rd respectively.

However, 23XI stabilization isn’t getting any easier any time soon, not until the final checkered flag falls on Charlotte ROVAL. With this mindset, Reddick entered the Bank of America ROVAL 400 with a clear objective – to secure a spot in the Playoff Round 8.

Tyler Reddick takes pole and Round of 8 at Charlotte Roval

Renowned for his prowess on the road, Reddick made his mark on the top of the timesheets through the qualifying rounds with an impressive lap of 81.214, edging out Gibbs Racing phenom Christopher Bell by a mere 0.114 seconds. The three-time road course winner found himself on the front row with teammate Wallace, who finished fourth.

Before the race, both Redick and Wallace stood just outside the playoff cutline, with 2- and 9-point margins, respectively, relying on an extraordinary run on Sunday to seal the deal to keep their championship hopes alive. With their determination and momentum, 23XI Racing Team was ready for an exciting encounter at the Charlotte Roval, ready to fulfill their playoff dreams with unwavering enthusiasm.

As Reddick shared, “We did it, I’m not kidding, we did a good job, we got his trophy here, Davis was holding it. So we’re sitting on pole, mission accomplished, Bubba (Wallace) also had a good qualifying effort, so as a team and overall it’s been a good start to the weekend. That’s what we have to do on Saturday. So I’m looking forward to the race on Sunday.”

This marks the Michael Jordan duo’s longest reach in the playoffs. However, only half of his team could reach the end of the maze. While Bubba Wallace waved goodbye to his championship dreams, Tyler Reddick drove consistently throughout the race and earned a spot in the Round of 8 along with a sixth-place finish.
