Xfinity and 23XI Racing expanded their partnership on January 20, 2026. They have strengthened a relationship that has grown since 23XI entered the NASCAR Cup Series.<\/p>\n
Found something we haven\u2019t done yet in NASCAR, imagine that.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re proud to announce an expanded partnership with @23XIRacing<\/a> and will be No. 23 team\u2019s primary sponsor for the #Daytona500<\/a>! pic.twitter.com\/sv1Ibjtj3M<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Xfinity Racing (@XfinityRacing) January 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Xfinity will debut its first fully branded NASCAR Cup Series car in the Daytona 500<\/a>. This move marks a significant milestone for Xfinity. The expanded partnership highlights Xfinity\u2019s long-term commitment to 23XI Racing, the NASCAR Cup Series, and fan engagement. It also extends Xfinity\u2019s presence across both full-time Cup teams.<\/p>\n Xfinity to debut first branded NASCAR Cup car at Daytona 500<\/p>\n Xfinity will debut its first-ever branded NASCAR Cup Series car in the season-opening Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway<\/a>. The company will appear as the primary paint scheme on Bubba Wallace\u2019s No. 23 Toyota Camry XSE for the race. The Daytona 500 remains NASCAR\u2019s most recognizable event.<\/p>\n The Daytona 500 marks the first time Xfinity appears as the primary sponsor on a Cup Series car in this event. After Daytona, Xfinity will serve as Wallace\u2019s majority primary partner throughout the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season. Multiple races will feature the Xfinity-branded No. 23 car. This gives Xfinity season-long visibility and deeper integration with the team.<\/p>\n The partnership<\/a> also includes continued support of 23XI Racing\u2019s second Cup entry. Xfinity will remain a primary partner with Tyler Reddick and the No. 45 Toyota for select races during the 2026 season. This extends Xfinity\u2019s on-track presence across both teams.<\/p>\n Bubba Wallace highlights deeper fan connection<\/p>\n The expanded partnership places Bubba Wallace at the center of Xfinity\u2019s Cup Series efforts in 2026. Wallace will carry the Xfinity brand as the majority primary partner on the No. 23 Toyota Camry XSE. This starts with the Daytona 500 and continues through multiple races during the season.<\/p>\n Wallace said the partnership allows fans to feel closer to the team and the work done throughout the year.<\/p>\n \u201cHaving Xfinity on the car for the Daytona 500 and doing more with our team for the 2026 season is an incredible honor. What really excites me is how this partnership gives fans a front-row seat to everything we do. They\u2019re right there for every mile of the season, celebrating the milestones, and feeling like part of the team. Xfinity\u2019s support gives us the resources to compete at the sport\u2019s biggest stages while keeping fans at the heart of every race.\u201d<\/p>\n The agreement provides long-term backing for Wallace and the No. 23 team. They will compete across NASCAR\u2019s top level.<\/p>\n Technology investment strengthens on-track performance.<\/p>\n The expanded partnership builds on Xfinity\u2019s continued investment in 23XI Racing\u2019s competition and infrastructure. That support includes the previously announced Xfinity Speed Center. The Speed Center provides the organization with advanced technology and performance resources.<\/p>\n Jessica Muir, Senior Director of Brand Partnerships & Amplification at Comcast, said the partnership has focused on innovation and fan connection since its beginning.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom day one, our partnership with 23XI Racing has been about imagining what\u2019s possible in the sport and creating experiences that connect fans to the moments that mean the most to them. This extension reflects our long-term belief in this team, in Bubba and Tyler, and in our fans. We\u2019ll be celebrating a historic milestone with our first-ever branded car in the Daytona 500 and showing fans what\u2019s possible when imagination meets momentum as we continue to invest in the future of NASCAR.\u201d<\/p>\n The expanded effort supports 23XI Racing\u2019s goal to compete at the highest level. It also brings fans closer to the action both on and off the track.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tDogli Wilberforce<\/a> is a sports writer who covers NASCAR, Formula 1 and IndyCar Series for Heavy Sports.
