Daniel Suárez, driver of the No. 7 NationsGuard Chevrolet Camaro for Spire Motorsports: “I’m really proud of my team, pit crew, and Spire Motorsports, as we’re doing a really good job as a group of bringing fast, competitive Chevrolets to the track. We definitely had a Chevrolet that could contend all day long, and I’m super happy with my NationsGuard car, but we just need to keep improving and building on this momentum. This No. 7 NationsGuard Chevrolet team did a great job, and I’m just really proud of this group. I felt like we had a top-five car on the short run and a top-10 car on the long run, with our strength definitely in the short-to-middle part of the run.”
