Races March 7, 2022 Date: March 6th, 2022 Event: Pennzoil 400 Presented By Jiffy Lube (Round 3 of 36) Series: NASCAR Cup Series Location: Las Vegas Motor Speedway (1.5-mile oval) Format: 267 laps, broken into three stages (80 laps/85 laps/102 laps) Start/Finish: 21st / 37th (completed 93 of 267 laps) Point Standing: 25th with 53 points Notes: Daniel Suárez finished 37th Sunday after an early exit from the race caused by contact from another car. The Trackhouse driver struggled with handling early in the race finishing 18th in the first stage. He appeared to resolve the issues in the second stage and drove to the front of the field climbing to 13th. His race ended on lap 93 when he was collected by Chase Briscoe who was dodging other cars. Suárez was unhurt, but the damage on the No. 99 was too extensive to continue racing. The NASCAR Cup Series returns to action Sunday at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona. Daniel Suárez, driver of the No. 99 CommScope Chevrolet Camaro for Trackhouse Racing: “I haven’t seen the replay yet, so I’m not sure what happened. I do know that the No. 14 (Chase Briscoe) clipped me in the right rear. The reason why, I don’t know. I don’t know what to say. He got loose and he clipped me. He didn’t do it intentionally, but it was unfortunate. We are disappointed but I think we had a fast car and obviously Ross had a good day as well. I can’t wait for Phoenix next week.”
