Tyler Reddick’s No. 45 Toyota Camry will have a Michael Jordan-themed paint job this weekend.
Reddick drives the No. 45 for 23XI Racing, which is co-owned by Jordan and Denny Hamlin. The No. 45 will have light blue paint along with the famous Michael Jordan Jumpan logo on the car for the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday.

The paint color is Carolina blue, which is very fitting given the race is taking place at Charlotte, two hours from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where Jordan played for college.
Reddick’s car having the Jordan theme for the race will be a full-circle moment for MJ, who attended the 1982 race while playing for the Tar Heels.
