No. 99 CommScope Chevrolet driver DanielSuárez certainly didn’t like his last-place finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday.
The Trackhouse Racing driver’s day ended on lap 93 when another car turned him into the wall and ended his race.
But, Suárez saw the silver lining in Vegas. After battling handling problems and a pit road penalty in Stage 1, he was driving from the back of the field and to the front, climbing to 13th, when his race abruptly ended.
Giving him even more solace, Suárez stayed at the track to watch Trackhouse Racing teammate Ross Chastain lead a career high 83 laps, win Stage 2 and finish third – Trackhouse’s best finish in its brief history.
It marked the second week in a row a Trackhouse Chevrolet has battled for victory in the final laps. At Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, Suárez led with three laps to go in a bid to secure the team’s first victory.
He and Chastain will look to make it three consecutive impressive performances on Sunday at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona.
Fox will televise Sunday’s race at 3:30 p.m. ET
