Daniel Suarez has signed a contract extension with Trackhouse Racing, keeping him behind the wheel of the No. 99 Chevrolet for 2025 NASCAR Cup Series.
In a major move to solidify the partnership between Daniel Suarez and Trackhouse Racing, the talented driver has signed a multi-year contract extension, ensuring his position behind the wheel of the No. 99 Chevrolet through at least the 2025 season.
The announcement also included the renewal of his primary sponsor, Freeway Insurance, which will continue its partnership with the team and driver.
Suarez, who has been with Trackhouse Racing since its debut in 2021, has played a key role in the team’s growth and success.
The 32-year-old driver has secured two NASCAR Cup Series victories with the team, including a recent win at Atlanta Motor Speedway earlier this year. His best season came in 2022, securing his first career Cup win at Sonoma and finishing 10th in the championship standings.
The announcement comes after Suarez married Julia Piquet – the daughter of three-time Formula 1 world champion Nelson Piquet – in Brazil, where he also won the NASCAR Brasil Series at Interlagos.
Fresh off securing the 2016 NASCAR Xfinity Series championship, the Mexican started his Cup career in 2017 with Joe Gibbs Racing and went on to race under Stewart-Haas Racing for a few years before joining TR.
“Trackhouse is home to me and I have enjoyed every minute I have been here,” said Suarez in a statement from the team. “We plan to keep working, growing and winning more races.
“We can only do that with the support of my amigos and amigas at Freeway Insurance. They have backed me for the last several years and we have grown close with their customers and employees.”
Trackhouse Racing owner Justin Marks was pleased to continue the partnership with Suarez and Freeway Insurance.
“Everyone at Trackhouse Racing is pleased to continue the relationship with Daniel and Freeway Insurance,” he said.
“Daniel has been vital to this team and its culture since the first day. Freeway joined that same year and we have all continued to grow together and will continue into 2025.”
Freeway Insurance, which first aligned with Suarez in 2021, will serve as the primary sponsor of the No. 99 car for a third of the 2025 season, including the prestigious Daytona 500 and the NASCAR All-Star Race.
Chief Executive Officer of Freeway Insurance Cesar Soriano highlighted the value of the partnership and Suarez’s impact as an ambassador for the brand.
“We value our partnership with Trackhouse and Daniel Suarez, who has become a powerful ambassador of our Freeway brand and an influential voice in our own diversity, equity and inclusion efforts,” said Soriano.
“Daniel’s story inspires us and deeply connects to the daily lives and goals of our Hispanic customers. Thousands of race fans have met Daniel at Freeway Insurance stores across the country, and we want him to meet and share his story with even more in 2025.
“He has been part of our national advertising initiatives and has introduced new customers to Freeway.
“We want to continue with that effort and scale our presence in NASCAR, so when you see the No. 99 racing by, you immediately think of Freeway Insurance.”
Suarez’s contract extension with Trackhouse Racing comes at a crucial time in his career as the driver is currently set for the Cup Series playoffs this season after his victory at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
