Last week’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Sonoma Raceway made history as Trackhouse Racing team driver Daniel Suarez drove his #99 Chevrolet to the victory lane for the first time in his Cup Series career. In doing so, he became the first Mexican-born driver to win a race in NASCAR's top-level series.
Suarez helped the Trackhouse Racing Team claim their third victory in just 16 races this season, with the other two wins secured by his teammate Ross Chastain.
On Sunday, Former NASCAR driver and owner of the Trackhouse Racing Team, Justin Marks, spoke about the success of their two-year-old team, which they achieved so quickly.
Marks said that he is not surprised that his team has reached victory lane three times in the first half of the regular season, but admitted that he was surprised by the pace of the victories as they happened so quickly.
Marks said:
“I tell people I’m not surprised that we’re a winning race team because I wouldn’t have started this project if I didn’t think, truly believe, that the opportunity existed to build a new race team in this sport that could win. It’s just happened really quickly. That’s been the surprise.”
He continued by saying:
“We’ve got such great people that work so hard. The promise of this car is being delivered every single weekend.”
