Suárez dodged many accidents and the team improved the handling his car during his pit stops before finishing Stage 2 in 11th. Rain canceled qualifying on Saturday so the drivers first laps of the weekend came in Sunday’s race. The NASCAR Cup Series returns to action Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Daniel Suárez, driver of the No. 99 Freeway Insurance Chevrolet Camaro for Trackhouse Racing: “Wow, sixth place. What a finish. We worked hard for that. It was a tough day for us. We just couldn’t get our Chevrolet to turn like we needed it to. We tried a lot of things. Nobody gave up and we just kept trying for better track position. We will have to look at everything so we can be better next time. Sixth-place isn’t too bad a finish, but we want better.”
