Races March 5, 2025 Spin Proves Costly in Disappointing Weekend. Date: March 2nd, 2025 Event: EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix (Round 3 of 36) Series: NASCAR Cup Series Location: Circuit of The Americas (2.4-mile road course) Format: 95 laps, broken into three stages (20 laps/25 laps/50 laps) Start/Finish: 5th / 36th (running, completed 50 of 95 laps) Point Standing: 29th with 38 points Notes: Trackhouse Racing’s Daniel Suárez finished 36th in Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. The Mexican driver saw his promising day end in a lap 51 accident when Suárez slid sideways and was struck by teammate Connor Zilisch. The Freeway Insurance Chevrolet had speed throughout the race weekend. In the first stage, Suárez enjoyed a clean start, racing in third before pitting before the stage end to gain track position in the second stage. He finished the stage in eighth. In the second stage, Suárez ran as high as fifth before pitting with a few laps to go in the stage, finishing 10th. On Saturday, the Freeway Insurance Chevrolet qualified in the top-5. The NASCAR Cup Series returns to action Sunday at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona. Daniel Suárez, driver of the No. 99 Freeway Insurance Chevrolet Camaro for Trackhouse Racing: “I just hit the curb, hit the ground and then it spun me out. When you have low air pressure, that’s very easy to do because the car is lower to the ground. I wish I could say it was a big mistake, but it wasn’t. It was just maybe a tire width too far to the left, and I hit the curb and I spun out. It was a good day for the No. 99 Freeway Insurance Chevrolet team. We were a top-five, top-10 car, for sure. I thought we were going to be a little bit better than that, but we have to continue to work and learn from today.”
