Suárez was mired in traffic in 24th with four laps remaining in the race before he charged to the front and took advantage of several late race cautions, plus two overtimes while dodging multiple accidents to finish ninth. Suárez started 22nd Sunday, but quickly went to the front of the field. Suárez led laps 31-34 and finished the first stage in 10th. In the second stage, Suárez finished 23rd. The next race is Sunday at Dover (Del.) Motor Speedway. FS1 will broadcast the race at 2 p.m. ET. Daniel Suárez, driver of the No. 99 Tootsies Chevrolet Camaro for Trackhouse Racing: “It was an up and down day for the No. 99 Tootsies Chevy team. I felt like we had a very, very fast car. The guys did a very, very good job with that. This is probably one of the best cars I’ve had at a superspeedway. We did a good job in the first stage. In the second stage, we just couldn’t recover on track position and the final stage was the same story. It’s part of it. We will learn from it and see what we could have done differently. But the positive is that we finished in one piece for the most part and the car was very fast.”
