First Look at This Year’s Daytona 500
With the ridiculous success I had wagering on Formula One last year, the next logical step was to hone in on NASCAR this year. See my first post on the sport for this year that I made yesterday.
Today, I was going through my fancy new spreadsheet to see if I could identify any potential riddles for the Daytona 500 to be held on February 16th. I took a couple notes on several drivers, but it wasn’t until I made it down to Tyler Reddick that I began noticing a sensational number of intriguing alignments that I couldn’t help but ignore.
Reddick drives for Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing. After I made that observation, it was brought to my attention that Jordan’s son Marcus was arrested today in Florida for DUI and cocaine possession exactly 6 weeks after his birthday:
After sporting a fancy Michael Jordan logo for The Clash, Reddick appears to be debuting a new livery for 2025 at Daytona, modeled around Monster Energy’s new hard beverage called The Beast with its appropriate 6.0% alcohol content. Could Marcus’s arrest for driving drunk be a clue for next weekend?
DISCLAIMER: I am 0-for-1 in my lifetime betting on a NASCAR winner. Tyler Reddick has never finished better than 27th at Daytona, and hopes to simply finish on the lead lap. However, he did win a race at Talladega last year, so it’s not impossible.
Michael Jordan / Moon Landing
The Daytona 500 will be held on 2/16
2016 is the 63rd Triangular number
Jordan was born in ’63
2/16 has Primary numerology of 63:
The Moon has an equatorial diameter of 2160 miles:
Jordan is affectionately known by his initials, M.J. He went to North Carolina and became a minority owner of the Washington Wizards late in his career.
During his time with the Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan wore numbers 23 and 45:
In NASCAR, Jordan’s 23XI racing fields both the 23 and 45 cars:
That Eclipse has Primary date numerology of 62 and 26:
The 26th Prime number is 101
Michael Jordan has Primary birth numerology of 101:
Last year, I made this video about the death of a North Carolina football player named Tylee Craft that was heavily-synced to Michael Jordan and a stage win by Tyler Reddick:
The Apollo Eleven landing was on July 20th, or 7/20:
Eclipse Coding
Three point one four (3.14) is the first three digits of Pi.
This is the 67th running of the Daytona 500 and Sixty-seven = 45. Reddick drives the #45 car, one of Jordan’s other numbers he wore during his NBA career.
The 33rd Prime number is 137
Feb. 16th falls 137 weeks after Tyler’s first win and 137 days before that race’s anniversary:
The 137th Prime number is 773
Kobe Bryant
Kobe, also known as the Black Mamba, died in Calabasas on a date with Primary numerology of 67:
It will still be during Brown Lunation # 1,263. Order of the Skull and Bones = 263, Skull and Crossbones = 263.
263 is the 56th Prime number and Tyler Reddick made his NASCAR debut on Jordan’s 56th birthday. 2025 is the 56th year after the Moon landing. NASCAR = 56.
Kobe used to play for the Lakers, who are currently coached by someone with a very similar name to Tyler Reddick’s – JJ Redick, who was hired on his 40th birthday last year.
Kobe Bryant was born on the 23rd of August, or 23/8:
Daytona will be Reddick’s 183rd race in the Cup Series.
