We hardly ever come across any instances where Daniel Ricciardo angers anybody. Well, today is the day we have across a scenario where the Australian has angered a plethora of NASCAR fans. Why? According to reports, the Australian is looking to grow his brand in the US. However, he not planning to do a NASCAR cameo.

The Australian has a massive fanbase in America thanks to his feature on Netflix’s “Formula 1: Drive to Survive”. Ricciardo‘s clothing brand RIC3’s popularity has also skyrocketed, with 60% of his customers being American. This is just one of the many brands Ricciardo is associated with. His budding relationship with the Bills QB Josh Allen does not hurt either.

So as a Red Bull third driver for 2023, Ricciardo will have plenty of time to grow his brand in the US. His management agency CAA Sports believes so as well with new projects on the docket for 2023.
