Daniel Suarez 's NASCAR Cup career has been a roller coaster, to say the least. After becoming the first non-American driver to win a NASCAR championship at the national level in 2016 (in the Xfinity Series), he was suddenly called up to Cup after the shock retirement of Carl Edwards.

Daniel Suarez, the only Mexican-born driver to win a national series race in a NASCAR event, will not return to Trackhouse Racing in 2026. Trackhouse and Suarez have called the parting a "mutual decision" that allows the veteran driver the chance to pursue another opportunity for next season.

Suárez is in the last year of his contract, having signed a one-year extension with the Justin Marks-owned team last summer.
