Daniel entered the 2017 Piston Cup season as a last season replacement for Bobby Swift and the racer for Octane Gain for during the last race. He competed against the likes of Lightning McQueen, Chase Racelott and Jackson Storm, proving himself a worthy opponent for such a new starter. He spent the majority of his first race battling both Mcqueen and Chase, even managing to pass Mcqueen before his untimely crash and despite this, manages to gain second place after the restart, coming second place behind Jackson himself.

During the 2018 Florida 500, he starts second, and remains in this position for most of the race. At some point, he takes the lead from Jackson Storm, and not dropping below second for the majority of the race. When Jackson becomes nervous of Cruz Ramirez ascending up the ranks, he slows down to try to discourage her, allowing Daniel to take the lead. Daniel looks at Jackson, confused, but then focuses on the race. Jackson retakes the lead after telling off Cruz. Some moments after that, Daniel is passed by Cruz and ultimately ends up finishing the race in third. After the end of the Florida 500, he congratulates Cruz on her win.
