Date: September 27th, 2026 Event: Hollywood Casino 400 (Round 30 of 36) Series: NASCAR Cup Series Location: Kansas Speedway (1.5-mile oval) Format: 267 laps, broken into three stages (80 laps/85 laps/102 laps) Start/Finish: 14th / 14th (running, completed 267 of 267 laps) Chase Standings: 16th with 2095 points Notes: Daniel Suárez led the way for Spire Motorsports with a 14th-place finish in Sunday’s Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway, earning his 16th top 15 of the season. With six races remaining on the season, Suárez is 11th 16th in The Chase standings. Suárez, driver of the No. 7 WIMNA Nation/Gainbridge Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, started 14th after inclement weather canceled Saturday’s practice and qualifying sessions, forcing the starting lineup to be set per the NASCAR Cup Series rulebook. In the opening segment of the fourth race of The Chase, Suárez battled balance issues and communicated to his team his cool shirt wasn’t working. The No. 7 team worked to alleviate the handling issues ahead of the Final Stage, allowing the Monterrey, Mexico native to run inside the top 10 prior to crossing the finish line in 14th. The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday, Oct. 4 for the South Point 400. The 267-lap race from Las Vegas Motor Speedway will be broadcast live on USA beginning at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). The 31st of 36 points-paying races on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule, and the fifth race of The Chase, will be broadcast live on the Performance Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90. Daniel Suárez, driver of the No. 7 WIMNA Nation/Gainbridge Chevrolet Camaro for Spire Motorsports: “In the first stage, the car felt disconnected. We were trying to find the balance and in Stage 2 it was pretty much the same. We kept making adjustments and trying to make it better. By the Final Stage, I felt like we had a better car and thought we had a top-10 car. We just needed a little bit more to finish where we wanted, but the No. 7 WIMNA Nation/Gainbridge team did a good job and never gave up all day.”
