Daniel Suarez gets back on the wheel at Stewart-Haas

Daniel Suarez will be present on the grids for the 2019 season of the Nascar Cup Series. The Mexican who celebrates his 27th birthday this Monday has been confirmed within the Stewart-Haas Racing instead of Kurt Busch left to join Chip Ganassi Racing. He will drive the No. 41 Ford Mustang.

The 2016 Xfinity Series champion played two full seasons with Joe Gibbs Racing before being let go at the end of 2018 to make way for Martin Truex Jr..

“It’s the happiest birthday I could imagine, confirmed Daniel Suarez. We were able to see the level of Stewart-Haas Racing since all its drivers won last year and advanced well into the playoffs. This is the chance that every driver dreams of and I have it in my hands now. »

“Daniel quickly went from rookie status to winner in every series he competed in, underlined Tony Stewart, co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing. In four years, he went from the K&N Series to the Nascar Cup. He won the Xfinity in the meantime and he did it all while learning a new language and a different culture. He is dedicated, talented and we are proud to have him in our ranks. »

Stewart-Haas Racing now has a full crew with Kevin Harvick, Aric Almirola and Clint Bowyer who were extended this year.
