Daniel Suárez's promising start to the NASCAR Cup season was interrupted by an unfortunate incident at the Daytona 500. During the second duel, the Mexican driver showcased impressive pace, leading several laps and positioning himself as one of the favorites for victory. However, contact with other competitors in the final laps of the duel left him in the last position on the starting grid.
After the accident, Suárez lamented the situation: "The car was fast, the team did a great job with the strategy. We were in a very good position to execute a good result and win the race." Despite this setback, the Monterrey driver remained optimistic about the Sunday race, highlighting that the car felt very good and they believed they had a chance to achieve a good result.
The Trackhouse Racing team is working hard to repair the damage to the car and prepare Suárez for the Sunday race. Although the hit was tough, they trust the driver’s ability to gain positions and achieve a good outcome in a competition like the Daytona 500, known for its multiple position changes and the opportunities it offers to drivers starting from the back.
Suárez will have to maximize his skill and the car's power to climb positions and fight for a place on the podium, taking advantage of the potential demonstrated by his team to compete at the highest level.
