Daniel Suárez joined Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) in 2019 as the driver of the team’s No. 41 Ford Mustang for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series joining teammates Kevin Harvick, Aric Almirola and Clint Bowyer.

2019 is Daniel’s third year in the elite NASCAR Cup Series, but his first with SHR. He made 72 NASCAR Cup Series starts with Joe Gibbs Racing in 2017-2018 after winning the 2016 NASCAR Xfinity Series championship.

“We’ve all seen how competitive Stewart-Haas Racing is – all of their drivers won last year and all of them advanced deep into the playoffs. This is the opportunity every driver wants, and now I have it. I want to deliver for this team, our partners in Haas Automation, ARRIS and Ford and, ultimately, for me. We have everything we need to be successful.” Said Daniel.

Tony Stewart, co-owner of SHR with Haas Automation founder Gene Haas, believes Suárez’s quick ascension to the NASCAR Cup Series is proof of his talent and desire. “In each series Daniel has raced in, he’s advanced quickly from rookie to race winner. In four years, he went from the K&N Series to the NASCAR Cup Series. In between, he won an Xfinity Series championship, and he did it all while learning a new language and a new culture. He’s dedicated, he’s talented and we’re proud to have him as a key part of our race team.”

Daniel’s No. 41 Ford Mustang will be sponsored by Haas Automation and ARRIS International PLC in 2019.
