Daniel Suarez admits it's ‘very hard’ to express his emotions about what he experienced in Mexico

Daniel Suarez opened up about the upcoming Cup Series race in Mexico and stated that it was 'very hard' to put his emotions into words. The Trackhouse Racing driver has been the primary focus as NASCAR moved away from the United States for the first time in 25 years and decided to race in his home country.

The NASCAR Mexico race weekend will kick off with the 65-lap, 157-mile Xfinity Series race, the Chilango 150, on June 14, 4:30 PM ET. This will be followed by the Viva Mexico, the 100-lap, 241-mile Cup Series race on June 15 at 3 PM ET. As the race weekend comes closer, there has been a lot of hype building up to the race, and Suarez has been at the center of it.

When asked to speak on this, and how he felt as NASCAR moved to international territory for the first time in over two decades, here's what the #99 driver said (Via Speedway Digest),

"Man, it's very hard to put into words. I had an expectation on the hype of the people and energy and the fans coming and the media, you guys. The entire week and weekend now, it has exceeded every single expectation that I had. For that I want to say thank you to you guys."

"This event I feel like it hasn't even started yet, and it has been I've been living a dream. That's exactly what has been happening for me the last few days. I feel very blessed, very happy to be here racing in front of you guys," Suarez further added.

NASCAR is all set to host the Viva Mexico 250 at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City, Mexico. The track was built in 1959 and has hosted globally renowned racing series, including Formula 1. Interestingly, this track previously hosted the NASCAR Xfinity Series from 2005 to 2008.
