This year's Cook Out 400, which took place at the Richmond Raceway, featured Daniel Suarez making contact with Ty Gibbs, sending the latter straight into Tyler Reddick. This resulted in Reddick's No. 45 ride spinning around in Turn 4 and derailing his dominant run in the race.Shortly after the race, the Trackhouse Racing driver acknowledged the incident and said:"I mean, I feel bad for the 45 (Tyler Reddick). It really wasn’t intentional. The last thing I wanted was to crash him for no reason. 54 (Ty Gibbs) already had older tires and at that point it’s a two- or three-second difference. When he (Gibbs) went to the bottom, he just slowed down way more than what I anticipated."Explaining what happened during the race, Daniel Suarez added:"I bumped him a little bit to get some room but it was maybe too hard of a bump for the tires that he had and he got a wiggle and then he ended up spinning out the 45 (Reddick), which wasn’t intentional. I feel bad for that. Bad situation there. Just trying to make as much time as possible.”On the other hand, Suarez celebrated his P7 finish at Richmond, calling the race a "good night for the No. 99 Chevrolet team." The Trackhouse Racing driver expressed that while they could've performed better and that he wished he had won the race, No. 99 was one of the top-five or top-10 cars throughout the race.Suarez also acknowledged his second top-10 finish in a row, given that he finished seventh at Watkins Glen.Daniel Suarez has "no hard feelings" following news of his departure from Trackhouse RacingDaniel Suarez and Trackhouse Racing confirmed they mutually decided to part ways at the end of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season in July 2025.
