The Porsche 912 is indeed a valued addition to a car enthusiast’s collection. The machine houses a 1.6-litre flat-six engine backed with a five-speed manual transmission, making it a thrilling drive for a bright sunny day. As of today, the car is priced at a whopping $50,000.

Julia Yasmeen Piquet is the daughter of three-time Formula 1 World Champion Nelson Piquet. A certified health coach and a former Research Analyst at Motorsports Network, Piquet currently looks after global business development at DNS Racing.

When not working, Piquet is seen alongside her husband Daniel Suarez, who is in his ninth season in the NASCAR Cup Series and fifth driving for Trackhouse Racing. Suarez drives the No. 99 entry for the North Carolina-based outfit, previously co-owned by global rap sensation Pitbull.

Suarez’s first victory in NASCAR’s premier series came in 2022 at Sonoma Raceway, marking his 195th career start. His most recent win came at Atlanta Motor Speedway last year in February, which also locked him in the playoffs for the second time.

His upcoming race is scheduled for Sunday, March 2 at Circuit of The Americas (COTA). Fans can watch the event live on FOX, or listen to radio updates on PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. Notably, it’s going to be the first road course race of the season.

Daniel Suarez joins his NASCAR colleagues for a tour around NASCAR’s Mexico home

For the first time in the modern era, NASCAR will hold a point-paying race at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City, which is about a 12-hour drive from Daniel Suarez’s hometown Monterrey. The race is scheduled for June 15 and will be televised by Amazon Prime with radio updates on MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

Needless to say, Daniel Suarez was elated when the news surfaced a few months ago. As quoted by NASCAR, the Chevy star said,

“This, for me, is like a dream. This is really a dream come true. Exactly 10 years ago, I was here racing NASCAR Mexico in 2014, and I won a race here before leaving NASCAR México and moving full-time to the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2015, and I knew that some, some years before my time, the NASCAR Xfinity Series had the opportunity to come to Mexico for a few years and I remember thinking what a dream it would be for me to race the NASCAR Cup Series one day in my country.”

Just recently, Suarez made a trip to the 2.7-mile racetrack along with NASCAR regulars Christopher Bell, Chase Elliott, and Ryan Blaney. NASCAR on X (formerly Twitter) shared the news through the following post:

NASCAR had previously hosted four Xfinity Series races at the Hermanos Rodríguez course between 2005 and 2008. Drivers like Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, and Martin Truex Jr. were in the winning mix.
