Entering Atlanta Motor Speedway, it had been 57 races since Daniel Suarez last visited Victory Lane in the NASCAR Cup Series. Since then, Trackhouse has won races with Ross Chastain and Shane van Gisbergen, and almost the 2022 title as well.
Suarez was not part of the 2023 playoffs, but after a dramatic win on Sunday, his position in the 2024 NASCAR postseason is nearly guaranteed. A margin of 0.003s is all that stood between him and Ryan Blaney, but that was enough to completely change the conversation around the driver of the No. 99 Chevrolet.
