However, Suarez and Wallace’s latest exchange on social media was less heartfelt, after the latter poked fun at his friend's racing result from several years ago.

The 23XI Racing driver posted a picture as re-watched Suarez’s crash from the 2012 K&N Pro East Series race at Bowman Gray, where both Wallace and Suarez competed.

Taking to X, Wallace posted an image of the crash alongside the caption: "Race week. Film review. Daniel Suarez."

Suarez responded to the jibe from his friend and rival, with a humorous response of his own referencing the injury.

“I remember that one, I hurt my huevos but didn’t know how to say it in English at the time,” Saurez wrote in response.
