Wallace and Hemric played golf against each other, and if their Instagram stories are to be believed, the 23XI Racing driver may finally have had his ‘revenge’ on his friend.
“Pleasure doing bidness with you @danielhemric,” Wallace wrote in his story.
“My string of consecutive rounds taking cash from you had to come to an end eventually,” Hemric replied on his story as he reposted Wallace’s story.

“I don’t know how to describe it because honestly, this is bigger than my win,” Wallace had said. “My nerves. And just to see the road that he’s come through how many times that he’s come short.”
The 23XI Racing driver described it as having a different feeling. He recalled how during the last restart, he was shaking, unable to sit still with his nerves trembling.

“I didn’t have that feeling at Talladega for my own win, I was just cool, calm and collected. But when you have some skin in the game — I’ve known Daniel, Daniel’s family forever — it just means so much more,” he added.
