The pressure is on for Daniel Suarez. As the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season looms, the Trackhouse Racing driver is setting his sights on consistent results—because his future in the sport could depend on it.

Entering his ninth full-time Cup season—his fifth with Trackhouse—the 33-year-old Mexican-American racer is out to prove he belongs among NASCAR’s elite. But with only two career wins in 252 Cup starts and a one-year contract extension hanging over him, Suarez knows that this season is a defining moment in his career.

Is he up for the challenge? His mindset says yes.

Suarez Knows It’s All on Him: “I’m Only Worried About Myself”

Trackhouse Racing has been one of the fastest-growing teams in NASCAR, but for Suarez, the results have been a rollercoaster ride.

His 2024 campaign started with promise—including an electrifying Atlanta win by just 0.003 seconds over Ryan Blaney—but as the season wore on, he managed just four top-five finishes and ended the year 12th in the standings.

With his future uncertain, Suarez is laser-focused on his own performance.

“At the end of the day, I’m only worried about myself. I worry about how can I bring myself to have the best opportunity possible to win multiple races a year. That’s my main goal.”

This singular mindset isn’t just about personal ambition—it’s a necessity in a sport where one bad season can end a career.


Trackhouse Racing: The Stakes Are High

Suarez isn’t just racing for trophies—he’s racing for his job.

Trackhouse Racing isn’t a team that settles. Justin Marks has made it clear: he wants title contenders, not just playoff entries.

The team already shook up the roster last year when Zane Smith was pushed out to make room for Shane van Gisbergen. Now, with 18-year-old phenom Connor Zilisch waiting in the wings, Suarez is fighting for his seat.

Zilisch, widely regarded as a generational talent, is making his Xfinity Series debut with JR Motorsports this year. If he delivers, there’s a real chance Trackhouse could promote him to the Cup level as early as 2026—potentially at Suarez’s expense.

Trackhouse is looking to build a long-term, championship-caliber lineup. If Suarez doesn’t deliver in 2025, the team might move on.


What Suarez Needs to Do to Secure His Future

So, what does Suarez have to do to silence the critics and prove he’s a long-term piece for Trackhouse Racing?

✅ Win More Than Once – A single victory won’t cut it. Suarez needs multiple wins to show he can compete weekly.

✅ Make a Deep Playoff Run – Simply qualifying for the playoffs isn’t enough. He needs to contend past the Round of 12 to solidify his spot.

✅ Show Consistency – Suarez has been streaky in his Cup career. If he wants to stay, he needs top-10s regularly, not just on superspeedways.

Even if Trackhouse doesn’t keep him, strong results in 2025 could pave the way for a move elsewhere—possibly to a team looking for veteran experience.


Can Suarez Prove He Belongs?

With the highest stakes of his career and the fastest young talent knocking on the door, Daniel Suarez has no room for error.
