Suarez, Trackhouse to part ways at end of season

Daniel Suarez and Trackhouse Racing have mutually agreed to part ways following the 2025 season.

Suarez announced the news via his official social media accounts on Tuesday afternoon.

“I’ve had some of the best years of my Cup Series career at Trackhouse,” Suarez wrote. “We had great successes as a team and I gained some incredible friends. We took a team nobody had even heard of in 2021 and in just a couple of years we were winning races and running upfront on a weekly basis. Just like the seasons in a year, sometimes things change and we have agreed to each go in our own direction.

“I wish Trackhouse nothing but the best, this [No.] 99 team will always be special to me. And like I always say, the best is ahead!”

Justin Marks hired Suarez as his flagship driver when forming Trackhouse Racing ahead of the 2021 season. Suarez has driven for the team since and has won two Cup Series races, which earned him a berth in the postseason both of those seasons (2022 and 2024). The 2022 season saw Suarez finish a career high 10th in the standings.

Trackhouse Racing is the fourth team Suarez has driven for in the Cup Series. Suarez began his career at Joe Gibbs Racing before moving to Stewart-Haas Racing and having a stint with Gaunt Brothers Racing.

Suarez signed a one-year extension with Trackhouse Racing for the 2025 season.

“The role Daniel has played in the Trackhouse origin story and its first five years will remain a valued part of the company’s history forever,” Justin Marks said in a statement. “His commitment, work ethic and dedication to the effort is one of the most impressive things I personally have seen in my career. We will forever be thankful and honored that Daniel chose to spend many incredible years with us. We are proud of his wins, his successes, the growth of his brand, and his emergency as a valuable athlete in America’s greatest motorsports.

“But, most of all, I’m proud of him as a friend. I’m truly excited to see what awaits him in the next chapter of his amazing career. We are grateful for the professionalism, effort and heart he’s brought to our organization.”

Trackhouse Racing is maxed at three full-time teams. In addition to Suarez, the No. 1 Chevrolet is driven by Ross Chastain and the No. 88 Chevrolet by Shane van Gisbergen.

Connor Zilisch is a Trackhouse Racing development driver currently competing with JR Motorsports in the Xfinity Series. Zilisch is expected to be in the Cup Series sooner rather than later.
