Michael Jordan

Victory Lane Interview

Q. What do you have to say about 23XI?

MICHAEL JORDAN: I can't say anything. Tyler did an unbelievable job. Both teams did an unbelievable job. I wanted him to win. I feel bad for Bubba, obviously, because he had an unbelievable day, but Tyler drove his ass off, and I'm very happy for Tyler. I'm very happy for 23XI.

Q. I know you've watched this sport your whole life, but how fun is it to be here and winning at this level in NASCAR?

MICHAEL JORDAN: The guys worked hard all summer. I know we had our little ordeal, but they never gave up. They kept working hard, and this is the fruit of their labor. You know, they put forth the effort, and for us to come out and win the first two races says a lot about our whole team.

Q. Congratulations.

MICHAEL JORDAN: Thank you.
