Daniel "Danny" Swervez is a Piston Cup "next-gen" race car who is set to appear in Cars 3.[1] His number is 19, the same number previously used by Bobby Swift.
History
In Cars 3, Swervez enters the 2016 Piston Cup season as a last season replacement whereby he replaces Bobby Swift as the racer for Octane Gain on the 2016 Piston Cup race.[2] He competes against the likes of Lightning McQueen and Jackson Storm, proving himself a worthy opponent. Before McQueen crashes, he and Chase Racelott pass him. During the Florida 500, he is mostly in second position. At some points, ge takes the lead from Jackson Storm. When the race is almost over, Daniel is still in second. When Jackson becomes scared of Cruz Ramirez, he slows down to try to disencourage her. In the process, Daniel takes the lead. Daniel looks at Jackson confused, but then focuses on the race. Jackson retakes the lead after telling off Cruz. Daniel is passed by Cruz and ends up finishing the race in third. After the end of the Florida 500, he congratulates Cruz on her win.

Trivia
- Daniel's name is a pun from his voice actor, Daniel Suarez, who is a professional NASCAR driver that won the Xfinity Series. Suarez's story is quite similar to his fictional counterpart, as both have replaced previous racers (Suarez took over the #19 car when Carl Edwards unexpectedly retired during the post-season of the 2016 season).
