Tyler Reddick continued his dominant start to the season Sunday, winning the DuraMax Texas Grand Prix for his third consecutive victory.
Driving for 23XI Racing, the organization co-owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, Reddick led the most laps on the 3.4-mile road course and held off Shane van Gisbergen by 0.8 seconds in the closing stages.

The win follows earlier victories at the Daytona 500 and Atlanta, marking the first time since Petty Enterprises in 1963 that a team has opened a season with three consecutive wins. The achievement places Reddick and 23XI firmly in early championship contention.

Texas required control as much as speed. Road courses often reward precision and patience, particularly with a proven specialist like van Gisbergen applying pressure late. Reddick managed the gap effectively and avoided critical mistakes, securing the victory through consistent pace and track position.
Jordan was visibly energized trackside following the win, celebrating with his team as 23XI continues to establish itself as a legitimate title threat. Reddick also shared his excitement publicly after the race, reflecting the significance of the early-season momentum.
Three races, three wins across three distinct track types. It is an emphatic start and one that immediately shifts the competitive landscape for the remainder of the season.
