Daniel Suarez, hailing from Monterrey, Mexico, stands out as the sole foreign-born driver to secure a championship in one of NASCAR’s three national levels, clinching the 2016 Xfinity Series title. Making history, he is the only Mexican driver to triumph at the Cup level, notably capturing his inaugural victory at Sonoma Raceway in 2022 and seizing another win in a thrilling three-wide photo finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway in 2024. This weekend, all eyes will be on Suarez as the Cup Series debuts at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, where he will showcase a special helmet design paying tribute to his cultural heritage.
Sharing his excitement on social media, Suarez unveiled the unique helmet crafted by esteemed Mexican artist Latapi Jorge, symbolizing his roots, patriotism, and inner strength. Expressing immense pride in representing Mexico and his compatriots, Suarez is determined to deliver a stellar performance at the NASCAR Mexico City weekend. While he aims for his first triumph of the 2025 season, with a notable runner-up finish in Las Vegas, he will also compete in the Xfinity Series race this weekend under JR Motorsports.
Joining him in the Xfinity race are fellow Mexican drivers Andres Perez De Lara and Ruben Rovelo, adding to the anticipation and national pride surrounding the upcoming races.
