Bubba Wallace could not suppress his excitement as he made efforts to hype Jayden Daniels up from his official social media account. The NASCAR driver acknowledged the American football player's red 23XI Racing bomber jacket Daniels donned recently from his official X account.

The Washington Commanders' official X account shared an image of Daniels wearing Wallace's 23XI NASCAR jacket. The account uploaded the photo with the "#ProBowlVote" caption and tagged the player. As the Cup Series driver noticed his jacket was the hot take on Sunday, he shared the picture on his X account.

Wallace quote-replied to Daniels' picture with the caption:

"YESSSSIRRR!"

Wallace's quote-reply has, so far, fetched over 62,700 views, over 2000 reactions, and numerous reposts. The original tweet has accumulated over 270,000 views on the micro-blogging site.

NASCAR drivers donning jerseys and jackets of NFL teams, and vice versa, is quite common. On multiple occasions, NASCAR drivers have also worn their favorite team jerseys to share their allegiance with their favorite teams.

The picture was taken ahead of the Washington Commanders' match against the Philadelphia Eagles, where Daniels' team won with 36-33. Thanks to the victory, the Commanders are now ranked second in the NFC East standings.

They are ahead of the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys, but behind the Philadelphia Eagles, the team they beat on Sunday. Bubba Wallace is a big-time American football fan and thoroughly supports the Tennessee Volunteers, a renowned college football team.


Bubba Wallace considered quitting 23XI Racing amid charter turmoil

Bubba Wallace reportedly considered leaving 23XI Racing amid the Denny Hamlin-owned team's struggle with the NASCAR charter. 23XI was one of the two teams that did not sign the charter agreement, and without it, the team's entry into the competition next year came into question.

23XI's potential inability to race in NASCAR next year would have prevented Wallace from competing. Citing the aforementioned reasons, the 31-year-old is reported to have threatened to walk out of the Huntersville-based team.

However, after Federal judge Kenneth Bell's recent verdict, Wallace can have a sigh of relief, as the former shared his verdict in favor of 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsport. Both teams will be allowed to compete as charter teams in 2025..

However, NASCAR is not backing down and looks set to appeal the injunction ruling. The judge's verdict arrived after 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsport filed a lawsuit against NASCAR regarding the charter agreement earlier this year.
