Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin's 23XI Racing announced Tuesday that the team has signed Tyler Reddick to drive for it starting in 2024.
"Announcing a driver over a year before he will be racing with 23XI is a little unprecedented, but Tyler was the driver we wanted and we did not want to miss the opportunity to bring him to our team," 23XI Racing president Steve Laluta said.
