Tyler Reddick is bringing a bit of Space Jam history to the racetrack with a bold new NASCAR paint scheme inspired by the film's infamous Monstars. The No. 45 Toyota has hit the track ahead of its upcoming race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with one of Jordan Brand's most eye-catching paint schemes to date.
The bright green car immediately grabs the eye, with black covering the hood and nose in a sharp contrast. Large orange numbers dominate the doors and hood, and a yellow accent around the front splitter adds another vivid touch to the already colorful design.
The hood is the star, featuring a line-art illustration of the Monstars. Above the art is a white Jumpman over an orange basketball, blending the film's visual identity with the Jordan Brand connection. Promotional artwork for the scheme features Bugs Bunny with Space Jam branding, adding to the celebration of the beloved film.
Reddick's new ride is part of 23XI Racing's broader effort to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Space Jam, a film closely tied to the team through co-owner Michael Jordan. The organization has already brought the movie's aesthetic to the NASCAR circuit, with Bubba Wallace driving his own Space Jam-themed car in July.
This latest design keeps that connection going for Reddick, who also has ties to the celebration. He had a Space Jam Air Jordan 9-inspired scheme earlier this year in Daytona, and the Monstars-themed No. 45 is just the latest in his growing array of movie-inspired Jordans. With the No. 45 Toyota set to hit the track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Reddick's latest Jordan Brand collab provides fans another chance to see 23XI Racing's Space Jam celebration come to life on track.
The new paint scheme takes that concept in a very colorful direction. Everything from the bright green body and oversized orange numbers to the Monstars artwork across the hood is designed to instantly evoke the world of Space Jam, while still keeping the unmistakable presence of a NASCAR race car.
The scheme's unique addition to the team's ongoing celebration is the branding of the Monstars, Bugs Bunny, and Jordan, along with the film's Anniversary. The movie is so closely tied to Michael Jordan that a car associated with his racing organization is a fitting visual celebration of the film's 30th Anniversary, using its imagery.
