Marks: "I don’t envision" a future where Suarez is not at Trackhouse
Entering Atlanta Motor Speedway, it had been 57 races since Daniel Suarez last visited Victory Lane in the NASCAR Cup Series. Since then, Trackhouse has won races with Ross Chastain and Shane van Gisbergen, and almost the 2022 title as well. Suarez was not part of the 2023 playoffs, but after a dramatic win on Sunday, his position in the 2024 NASCAR postseason is nearly guaranteed. A margin of 0.003s is all that stood between him and Ryan Blaney, but that was enough to completely change the conversation around the driver of the No. 99 Chevrolet. Race winner Daniel Suarez, Trackhouse Racing, Chevrolet Camaro. One of those changes came atop the pitbox with Matt Swiderski coming over from Kaulig Racing and taking over the role of crew chief from Travis Mack. The two men essentially switched places. Despite the media speculation, Marks asserts that Suarez was never on the hot seat. “Yes, this is a contract year for Daniel. Does that mean that this is Daniel’s audition? No. It means that basically we are working on growing this company and making Trackhouse one of the powerhouse perennial championship-contending companies in this sport.”
