The NASCAR silly season just dropped a bombshell: Daniel Suarez and Trackhouse Racing are splitting after the 2025 Cup Series season. Announced on July 1, 2025, the decision was mutual, but it’s still a shocker for fans of the No. 99 team. Suarez, who’s been with Trackhouse since 2021, called his time there some of the best years of his career.
“Trackhouse and I have mutually agreed to part ways at the end of the 2025 season. I’ve had some of the best years of my Cup Series career at Trackhouse. We had great successes as a team and I gained some incredible friends,” he shared.

From a little-known outfit to race winners in just a couple of years, Suarez helped put Trackhouse on the map with two wins, 15 top fives, and 39 top 10s, including one top five and three top 10s in 2025.
Trackhouse owner Justin Marks didn’t hold back on the praise either. “The role Daniel has played in the Trackhouse origin story and its first five years will remain a valued part of the company’s history forever. His commitment, work ethic and dedication to the effort is one of the most impressive things I personally have seen in my career,” he said.
Marks called Suarez a friend and a key piece of Trackhouse’s rise, but with the team eyeing young gun Connor Zilisch for a bigger role alongside Ross Chastain and Shane van Gisbergen, the roster’s getting crowded. Suarez, sitting 29th in points heading into Chicago’s street race, is ready for a new chapter.
“Just like the seasons in a year, sometimes things change,” he said, hinting at big things ahead. After a 2025 Xfinity Series win with JR Motorsports in Mexico City, Suarez’s next move is anyone’s guess, but he’s leaving Trackhouse with gratitude and grit.
This is a developing story.
