Yeah, 23XI is very important to this sport, absolutely. If we could get everyone to see that as much as we do (laughing). It is. It’s good for everything you can imagine. You’re talking sponsorship, your manufacturers, your team morale.

It’s just so good, and it is in so many different ways. Certainly you like to have more of these opportunities happen more and more often because they’re all of equal importance, and they all make you feel just as good. You definitely want to savor them.

It definitely adds to it. Every little thing adds to how special it is for sure. I was very envious when I saw kind of the scheme design for this weekend, that 45, and I saw it in the shop. Very envious of that 45 car for sure.
Denny Hamlin said.

The whole 23XI Racing team seems to have enjoyed the presence of MJ on Sunday and the win by Reddick brought in an extra layer of happiness. Going into next race weekends, it would be interesting to see if MJ visits races more often and whether 23XI continue winning.
