Daniel Suárez, driver of the No. 99 Chevrolet, will return to Trackhouse Racing for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, the team announced Friday.

“Trackhouse is home to me, and I have enjoyed every minute I have been here,” Suárez said in a team release. “We plan to keep working, growing and winning more races. We can only do that with the support of my Amigos and Amigas at Freeway Insurance. They have backed me for the last several years and we have grown close with their customers and employees.”
Suárez, a two-time winner in the Cup Series, was the first driver signed to Trackhouse Racing for its inaugural season in 2021. Suárez claimed his first Cup Series win at Sonoma Raceway in June 2022, becoming only the fifth internationally-born winner in Cup history.
The 32-year-old driver has one win in the 2024 season so far at Atlanta Motor Speedway. A 0.003-second margin separated Suárez and the No. 12 car of Ryan Blaney in the fourth-closest finish in NASCAR history, solidifying the No. 99 car‘s spot in the playoffs in a three-wide finish that saw Kyle Busch third, only 0.007 seconds behind Suárez.
Suárez is also a three-time winner in the Xfinity Series and has one career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victory. The Monterrey, Mexico native won the 2016 Xfinity Championship, becoming the first internationally born driver to win a title across NASCAR‘s three national series.
