Trackhouse explains decision to drop Daniel Suarez from NASCAR team
Trackhouse Racing team owner Justin Marks has detailed the reasoning behind dropping Daniel Suarez from its NASCAR Cup Series line-up at the end of the 2025 season. Suarez, who contributed wins at Sonoma in 2022 and Atlanta in 2024, will not return for a sixth season as announced by the team. Despite his successes, Suarez has struggled in the 2025 campaign with just one top-five finish in 19 races, leading to uncertainty about his future in the Cup Series given limited competitive seats for 2026. Marks clarified that the decision was part of the team’s long-term growth strategy, reflecting on their past achievements with Suarez while acknowledging the need for new opportunities and evolution within the team. Ultimately, Marks and Suarez parted ways amicably, with Marks expressing gratitude for their time together and looking ahead to the future of Trackhouse Racing.
