Jordan, who turns 63 on Tuesday, will get a Daytona 500 ring for his birthday and made it known in victory lane he wears a size 13. “He loves his race team,” Hamlin said, adding he reminded the team of the fulfillment they saw in Jordan when Reddick won at Talladega in 2024. He was the 25th different driver to lead a lap for a new Daytona 500 record. Reddick opened last year with a runner-up finish in the Daytona 500. Then it was time for Jordan and Hamlin, the two front-facing litigants, as they got their first Daytona 500 victory together.
