Michael Jordan is once again creeping out NASCAR fans after his team’s latest win.
On Sunday, 23XI’s Tyler Reddick won his fifth race of the season, which made Jordan extremely excited.
“This kid is on fire. I don’t know what to say. I don’t think I can cool him down,” Jordan said. “When you win, it’s always fun, and right now it’s fun for everybody at 23XI. Me being here and being able to see all the wins, I am so happy for the team.”
After the race, Jordan creeped out fans when he grabbed Reddick by the neck to kiss him while celebrating their big win.

This isn’t the first time Jordan has weirded out fans during the NASCAR season.
Earlier in the year, Jordan was under fire when he was accused of improperly celebrating a win with Reddick’s son.

Redick eventually absolved Jordan of any wrongdoing at the time.
“From my perspective, I’ve gotten to know Michael and his family very well over the years I’ve been here with 23XI, and I don’t see what other people see when it comes to this,” Reddick said. “For me, it’s a huge moment; this is the biggest moment of my career.
“It’s a huge moment for my family and for his family, and I just put that off to the side and think about the look on (Michael Jordan’s wife) Yvette’s face and the whole family and his whole group when they got to victory lane too, and just how happy everybody was celebrating together. So, that’s where I’m at with it.”
