The hardest hit that Tyler Reddick took at Homestead-Miami Speedway wasn't from a bounce into the wall or from another driver crashing into him.
It was from his boss.
Michael Jordan is 6-foot-6. Reddick might be 5-foot-6, tops. When Jordan comes at him full speed and wraps his massive arms around Reddick, the driver is going to take a bit of a jolt. That's exactly what happened Sunday, after Reddick won at Homestead and clinched one of the four spots in NASCAR's winner-take-all title deciding race at Phoenix in two weeks.
"To be able to reward him ... it's a true honor," Reddick said. "It was really cool to see how happy he was. We're all very happy about it."
For good reason. Winning still drives Jordan more than anything, even at 61.
