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 a racer named Carl Edwards retired).
