Michael Jordan Requests Jamie Little for All NASCAR Interviews

The arrangement reflects a trust built since 2021 that Fox producers now honor.

Overview

  • Jordan has been on site for 23XI Racing's opening three-race sweep with Tyler Reddick winning the Daytona 500, Atlanta, and COTA.
  • Little confirmed she was personally requested by Jordan, with a Fox producer assigning her to interview him at the Daytona 500.
  • She seeks Jordan's permission before going live, and he declines interviews when he is not in the mood to talk.
  • Little's access has produced more on-camera comments from Jordan than NBC has this season, despite his role there as a special contributor.
  • Their rapport began after Jordan praised Little at Sonoma in 2021, leading to introductions and later high-profile interviews such as after Reddick's 2024 Talladega win.
