Julia Piquet got candid about her husband, Daniel Suarez, competing in the Cup Series

Ahead of the 2025 season's inaugural race at Daytona 500, Daniel Suarez's wife, Julia Piquet, began a new Get Ready with Me series on her Instagram account. During the series, she broke down her outfit of the day for her fans and answered some of the questions from her comment sections.

Following the same, a fan asked Piquet if she ever gets nervous about Suarez competing in the Cup Series. The Mexican driver's wife gave a subtle reply and stated:

"I get so nervous, to the point where I almost don't even enjoy watching the race. On Thursday, during the duels, my legs were violently shaking; I was so nervous...I'm dead serious, sometimes I wish I could just crawl into a hole in the middle of the race and come out when the race is over."

Daniel Suarez has had tough luck since the beginning of the 2025 season. He ranks 27th in the Cup Series points table with 209 points to his credit in 12 starts this season. Suarez secured three top-ten and one top-five finish at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA).
