Races May 11, 2022 Incident Drops No. 99 to 31st Date: April 24th, 2022 Event: Geico 500 (Round 10 of 36) Series: NASCAR Cup Series Location: Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway (2.66-mile oval) Format: 188 laps, broken into three stages (60 laps/60 laps/68 laps) Start/Finish: 4th / 31st (accident, completed 92 of 188 laps) Notes: Trackhouse Racing driver Daniel Suárez finished 31st in Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway. Suárez started fourth and led 28 of the race’s first 35 laps before dropping to midpack after the first round of pitstops. Suárez climbed back into contention in the second stage, but saw his day end after he was collected by spinning cars in a nine-car accident on lap 92. Despite attempts by the crew, the No. 99 could not be repaired. The NASCAR Cup Series returns to action Sunday at Dover (Del.) Speedway. Daniel Suárez, driver of the No. 99 Tootsies Chevrolet Camaro for Trackhouse Racing: “Our Camaro was fast. I was really happy with how the car was driving. I wasn’t good in traffic. I felt like we needed to make an adjustment or two. We made an adjustment and the car was much better by the end of the run. We just needed a little track position. I felt like we were being patient, just trying to wait for the right time to try and get aggressive and get in the right position. I don’t even know what happened. I just saw the No. 22 (Joey Logano) sideways, wrecking, in the top lane. Unfortunately, we were just in a bad position.”
