23XI Racing drivers Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick starred in a hilarious McDonald's promo video ahead of the upcoming NASCAR Cup race in Dover.

Following a stellar last-gasp victory in Talladega, 23XI Racing No. 45 driver Tyler Reddick will return to action alongside his teammate Bubba Wallace at Dover Motor Speedway. Set to contend for back-to-back victories, Reddick has secured an advantageous fourth position for himself in the starting line-up.

When Tyler Reddick drove to the victory lane last week, the 28-year-old was piloting a sumptuous elephant-printed Jordan Brand-sponsored Toyota. For Dover, however, Reddick will be collaborating with McDonald's, one of 23XI Racing's and Bubba Wallace's oldest sponsors.

With ketchup dripping from the top, and the golden arches peeking from below, the Würth 400 race at Dover Motor Speedway will be the first race of the season to feature a McDonald 's-sponsored No. 45 Toyota. Hyping up this collaboration, both 23XI drivers Wallace and Tyler Reddick starred in a promotional video shared by 23XI Racing on its X (formerly Twitter) handle.

In the playful skit, both Wallace and Reddick could be seen moving toward each other, holding fries and ketchup respectively. As they bump into each other, Wallace utters:

"Hey man, you got ketchup in my fries."
"You got fries in my ketchup," responds Reddick.

Bubba Wallace set to honor the US Air Force during NASCAR race in Dover

Wallace is set to honor the U.S. Air Force during the Dover race, marking the first time since 2020 that he will be partnered with the prestigious organization. Paying tribute to the historic Flying Tigers, a renowned WWII squadron whose design inspired the A-10 Warthog paint scheme used today, Bubba Wallace will sport a similar paint scheme on his car.

Moreover, Wallace will also honor four Vietnam veterans, with their names prominently displayed on his car. Reflecting on the collaboration, the No. 23 Toyota driver said (via Forbes):

"Excited to meet them (veterans) in Dover. But yeah, the scheme I walked in day one this year for our production day, and I'm like, people are already talking. They want the war scheme back."

The Air Force's sponsorship of Wallace dates back to his tenure with Richard Petty Motorsports from 2018 to 2020. Speaking of the paint scheme, Wallace said:

"I think it'll look good, especially on the Next Gen car. Toyota bodies look good."

In the ongoing season, Bubba Wallace has accumulated 257 points after ten races. The 30-year-old driver finds himself 11th in the NASCAR Cup Series standings.
