Suárez Wins Xfinity Race in Backup Car at Mexico City

Daniel Suárez delivered a remarkable performance at the NASCAR Xfinity Series Chilango 150 in Mexico City, winning the race despite a qualifying crash that forced him to start at the back in a backup car. Suárez overtook competitors in the final stage and held the lead to claim victory, marking a significant moment for both him and JR Motorsports, whose owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. praised the team's resilience and Suárez's driving skill. This win was Suárez's first in the Xfinity Series in Mexico and brought JR Motorsports to the top of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series owner standings, highlighting the team's depth and competitive strength. The victory was also historic for crew chief Corey Shea and the No. 9 car, achieving their first win in nearly three years. Suárez celebrated passionately in front of his home crowd and aims to continue his success in the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series Viva Mexico 250. The Xfinity Series will next compete in Pennsylvania at the Explore the Pocono Mountains 250, continuing the season's intense competition.
