McDonald's is expanding its sponsorship of the 23XI NASCAR team for the 2022 cup series, according to an NBCSports report.

The Chicago-based burger chain will sponsor driver Bubba Wallace's NO. 23 Toyota in several races, including the Daytona 500 on Feb. 20.

"McDonald's has really stepped up over the years and played a large part in my career," said Wallace in a team release. "Getting McDonald's back to Victory Lane for the first time since 1994 and having them on our Camry for my first win in the Cup Series this year was really special.

"To be a part of the McDonald's family and be involved in programs like Black and Positively Golden and work toward similar goals both on and off the track also means a lot to me. I'm excited to continue to build on our relationship and get the 2022 season started with McDonald's on our Camry TRD for the Daytona 500 – hopefully with another trip to Victory Lane."

Wallace won at Talladega Speedway in October under the McDonald's sponsorship.

23XI is owned by basketball superstar Michael Jordan and Cup star Denny Hamlin.
