It isn't clear what the connection between Daniels and Wallace is but there are a ton of racing fans in the Landover area and Joe Gibbs' ties to the franchise have helped that over the years. It's possible Daniels could just be a of DoorDash as well...

As far as Wallace and 23XI, the 31-year-old driver has reportedly warned Michael Jordan's team that he could explore other opportunities if he there isn't a clear roadmap to compete "immediately" with a chartered car in 2025.

It'll certainly be something to monitor as the year comes to a close.
