Three of Suarez’ s 10 series wins took place at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, which was named after legendary Formula One driver and one of the earliest Hispanic NASCAR drivers, Pedro Rodriguez.
Suarez also notched 25 topfive finishes in 58 races over his four seasons competing in the Mexico Series. He moved up to the NASCAR K & N Pro Series, where he won three times driving for Rev Racing and the NASCAR Drive for Diversity program.
On November 19, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver became the sport’ s first foreign-born national series champion, beating out Elliott Sadler, Justin Allgaier and Erik Jones in the inaugural NASCAR XFINITY Series Chase by virtue of his victory in the series finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
