Daniel Suarez’s future in NASCAR remains muddled in uncertainty, though he is still relaxed about his situation for the time being.
The Mexican driver’s contract expires at the end of the season after he signed a one-year extension last year.
Suarez notched an impressive win at the Xfinity race in Mexico City, capturing the victory at his home race.
In the Cup Series, results have been a mixed bag. Suarez only has one top-five finish, while the other two drivers at Trackhouse Racing had much more success than the Mexican driver.
His teammates Ross Chastain and Shane van Gisbergen both won races this season and are playoff-bound.
While this season is not going the way Suarez wants, he is still hopeful that he will stay with the team.
“We’ll see what happens,” he said on the Dale Jr. Download.
“There [are] still a lot of things [up] in the air, right now. There [are] just some things that I’m just uncomfortable in a few areas, a few things, but I love Trackhouse and I love this team. And this team for me has been my best home in the Cup Series.
“I want to have more success with this team and I want to see this team successful, regardless of if I’m in it or not. But we’ll see what happens.
“Right now, honestly, everything is an option. But I think there are a lot of things that honestly, I don’t even know the answer. All I know is that things are going to work out. They always do. I’m working very, very hard. The team is doing their job. The [No.] 99 team, what an amazing group of guys.
“My crew chief, mechanics, and the pit crew. I have an amazing group, and we’ll see what happens. But there are still a lot of things in the air, and I hope that everything works out in a way that everyone is happy.”
Suarez broke into NASCAR with Joe Gibbs Racing, eventually leaving to join Stewart-Haas Racing, before ending up at Trackhouse.
Trackhouse has JR Motorsports standout Connor Zilisch as the team’s development driver.
His impressive racing in the Xfinity series might net him a seat in the Cup Series.
Suarez needs a win to capture a playoff spot and potentially save his seat.
“A lot of things have happened in the last 10 months or so,” Suarez added on his podcast appearance.
“I love Trackhouse. This is my home, and I’m forever thankful for everything that Justin and Trackhouse and Ty Norris, at the time, and a lot of people have done to build this amazing place.
“Lately, it’s been a little bit of a struggle, not just on the track but also off the track in a few things, and right now, we are in a must-win situation. We’re in a must-win situation. The good thing about that is that we have good racetracks [coming] for us.”
