Suarez didn’t make the playoffs this year. However, he still has a shot at bagging his maiden win of the season. However, the Monterrey native will not be back behind the wheel of the No. 99 in 2026, as Trackhouse and Daniel Suarez have mutually agreed to part ways after the 2025 season.

This Sunday at Darlington, Suarez bagged a P25 finish. Joe Gibbs Racing driver Chase Briscoe won the race, with the top five spots rounded out by Tyler Reddick, Erik Jones, John Hunter Nemechek, and AJ Allmendinger.
