Races March 13, 2023March 13, 2023 Trackhouse Chevy Runs Well, Finds Trouble Late Date: March 12th, 2023 Event: United Rentals 500 (Round 4 of 36) Series: NASCAR Cup Series Location: Phoenix Raceway (1.022-mile oval) Format: 312 laps, broken into three stages (60 laps/125 laps/127 laps) Start/Finish: 11th /22nd (completed 317 of 317 laps) Point Standing: 11th with 119 points Notes: Trackhouse Racing driver Daniel Suárez finished 22nd in Sunday’s 500-kilometer NASCAR Cup Series race at Phoenix Raceway. The finish dropped Suárez from fourth to 11th in the 2023 point standings. Both Trackhouse Chevrolets raced well and looked destined to finish in the top-10. Two speeding penalties while racing 14th doomed Suárez’s bid for a fourth consecutive top-10 finish. Suárez started 11th on Sunday and quickly showed his speed by gaining spots early in the race before finishing 13th in the first stage. In the second stage, neither of the two Trackhouse teammates could make much progress with Suárez finishing14th. Suárez raced in the top-10 much of the race. The next race is 3:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, March 19 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Daniel Suárez, driver of the No. 99 Freeway Insurance Chevrolet Camaro for Trackhouse Racing: “That was a difficult finish for us. I thought we had a car capable of a top-10. We worked on the handling all race long and showed some good speed today, but those speeding penalties just hurt our day. We learned a lot for when we come back for the November (Championship) race.”
