Lame-Duck Daniel Suarez Delivers Clutch Second-Place Finish
Daniel Suárez had what was probably one of his last realistic shots for victory in Saturday's race at Daytona, where he finished second in one of his last starts for Trackhouse Racing, missing out on a playoff bid by a mere .031 seconds. The Trackhouse cars were fast throughout the entire race, with all three Trackhouse drivers making passes for the lead in the first half of the race. Suárez led six laps early after passing Bubba Wallace for the lead on Lap 25. However, he faded from view during Stages 2 and 3 until he picked the right lane of traffic in the closing laps, deciding to draft off eventual winner Ryan Blaney along the outside line, which propelled him from 16th to second in the last two laps. He wasn't as much of a contender as that implies since it would've been difficult for him to dispatch of Blaney.
