What are Daniel Suarez’s options for NASCAR in 2...

Daniel Suarez‘s NASCAR Cup profession has been a curler coaster, to say the least. After turning into the primary non-American driver to win a NASCAR championship on the nationwide degree in 2016 (within the Xfinity Sequence), he was all of the sudden referred to as as much as Cup after the shock retirement of Carl Edwards.

He spent two years with Joe Gibbs Racing with little to indicate for it earlier than shifting on to Stewart-Haas Racing. He ran as an SHR driver for only one season being ousted so as to make room for Cole Custer. He then spent the 2020 season with Gaunt Brothers Racing earlier than being signed by the newly shaped Trackhouse Racing Team as its first driver.

But after five years, that relationship is coming to an end, and sadly, Suarez’s Cup choices are restricted for 2026. Many of the main multi-car groups have already put issues in place for the 2026 season and it will be a shocker if something modifications there.

Wanting elsewhere, we all know for a indisputable fact that Legacy Motor Membership intends to broaden right into a three-car group for 2026, which may very well be the most effective alternative for Suarez. But, they are also in the middle of a contentious lawsuit over their attempted purchase of a third charter from Rick Ware Racing.

Over at Spire Motorsports, Justin Haley’s 2025 season has been a struggle, particularly while you evaluate it to teammates Carson Hocevar and Michael McDowell. If Spire have been to choose to make a change behind the wheel of the No. 7 automotive, then Suarez may very well be match there. 

Whereas no modifications are anticipated to the lineup for Kaulig Racing, Ty Dillon‘s future isn’t but locked in. It is also been reported that T.J. Puchyr is looking to purchase Rick Ware’s organization and expand it into a three-car team, but that won’t be happening until 2027.

If Suarez have been to look past the NASCAR Cup Sequence, there may very well be a situation the place he swaps seats with the motive force anticipated to take over the No. 99 Chevrolet — Connor Zilisch. He presently competes with JR Motorsports within the No. 88 Xfinity journey, however Zilisch would clearly vacate the seat if he have been promoted to Cup. Suarez is a confirmed champion within the NASCAR Xfinity Sequence and even won the Mexico NXS race earlier this year with JRM, so it would not be that far-fetched both.
