Daniel Suarez potentially saved his career with that win
Atleast helped him out. Daniel is a top 15-20 driver imo
@@wysmnagree with that
@@wysmn nah. Statistically, he’s a top 15-20 in qualifying. But in racedays, unless something crashes into him (for some odd reason he always gets caught in crashes, just look at last Daytona), he’s proven to be, _at least_ , a top 10 driver. And has been JGR’s and SWR’s scapegoat tbf.
2023 was simply a bad year.
People need to stop saying that. The team was literally built around him and he’s performed.
great win but he made a lots of mistakes troughout is career
Notice he said “a driver for Trackhouse”. He never said in the cup series. Similar to AJ Allmendinger for Kaulig. So time will tell if he keeps his ride. This win helps though.
Does trackhouse even have an xfinity or truck team?
@@MajikBeardno, they run Xfinity through Kaulig and Trucks through Niece Motorsports.
Justin Marks is slowly becoming one of the best owners in motorsports. You can see with his expression he clearly cares about Suarez. I believe he truly meant what he said while other owners have said similar but gone the other way.
I was at the race and watched this dude practically run off the pit box and out of the pits to go be the first to hug him. Definitely doesn’t sound or look like he’s sour on him behind the scenes.
@@daltoncady4038 Thank you for sharing. One of the most passionate guys in motorsports is Justin Marks. Would love to know the behind the scenes of what he is going to do.
He’s a lot like Chip Ganassi, and I Love it.
@@andrewwinslow9315 That is a phenomenal comparison actually. When McMurray talked about Chip in DBC he said that Chip would do anything to fix the team and would never blame the driver.
@@andrewwinslow9315 I never fully appreciated Chip when he was in NASCAR but love him now as a newer Indycar fan. What a guy. I think his background as a racer set him apart, same with Marks.
I hope it is the last year of Xfinity. If I have to hear drivers say, “as fast as Xfinity 10G” again, OMFG!
Are you going to lose your mind… as fast as Xfinity 10g?
Really good point.
@@Redslayer86”we had an extremely good human male mind, ran fast but not as fast as xfinity 10g, we were extremely disappointed when we lost our mind just as fast if not faster then xfinity 10g”
My car is as slow as dial up.
I hope my favorite team (Trackhouse) can get 2 more charters or just 1 more just to get my boy Daniel more weight off his shoulders
The “there’s a lot going on behind the scenes” makes me think of a possible xfinity or truck team as a possibility.
Probably Xfinity because they already kinda have an Xfinity car that uses their materials but is owned by Kaulig. I would say they’d probably purchase the charter for either Zane Smith or Conner Zilisch
Or as I was thinking a revamp of SHR’s deal with Ford & trimmed down to a 2 car charter keeping Briscoe & Berry. Then Trackhouse gobbles up 1 of those charters & RFK the other.
@@Michael-Styles Who do you think RFK would sign?
@@8ETHANK8I’m not sure tbh but Brad has been very outspoken about getting another charter. I actually think they may scoop up that 2nd RWR charter & bring in Justin Haley perhaps.
@@Michael-Styles Yeah that would make sense
Btw what’s the deal with Ryan blaney being part of nearly every modern-day close finish. This man is a part of everything.
Because he’s Ryan Fucking Blaney
@@willharville8967 that makes sense
All in the script bro
I’ve noticed Penske always seems to have 1 car show up in a big way. Usually it’s Blaney or Logano (if not both), but even Cindric has had some good runs at times, even when Blaney and Logano’s performances went missing
I’ve never seen someone that could find more ways to lose a race than Ryan Blaney!
I feel like Trackhouse could continue to shock people. I believe Trackhouse will acquire one of Spires charters after this season and bring Zane Smith in-house. I honestly think Trackhouse will try to run SVG in that 91 car full time next year with or without a charter. Trackhouse just does things that people don’t expect and that would add to that list.
the problem with that is if SVG gets into the 91 FT next year…then the entire P91 project is over
@jabber1990 good point. he will prolly run the 97.
The P91 would be over if Trackhouse have 4 FT teams though!@@jabber1990
Remember one thing, Trackhouse already talked an owner in to selling a team not for sale. You have a lot of owners out there getting up there in years, and a couple teams just barely hanging on by a thread. I don’t think it would take much to get the 16 and 31 under their roof.
This may sound crazy but I bet they could buy the “Stewart” part of Stewart Haas.
I don’t think that’s all that crazy@@limprooster3253
@@limprooster3253nah that’ll be Junior when JRM finally makes the leap
Rick Ware racing is a better bet to be bought out 51/15 cars
I love the power rankings! I still don’t love the 2 rows (makes it harder to digest quickly imo), but it is definitely my new favorite segment. Thanks Eric!
Agreed, would be much better to arrange like this imo!
1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8
9 10
Yeah except bubba should be higher in his bracket in the top 5!
I’d love to see Trackhouse get at least another charter next year if not 2.
Trackhouse is gonna steal a charter in the future from a backmarker considering Chastain and Suarez having success
Probably will end up buying Kaulig’s
SHR will sell 2 of their charters if not all 4 this offseason, that team is in shambles and no one cares or has passion over there anymore.
@@jaredchampagne2752Yep. Tony is an absent owner. Get ready for TrackHaas Racing
@@jaredchampagne2752 The Haas F1 team is in deeper shambles and worth somewhere around 10,000 times as much as two Cup Charters and he refuses to sell it so I doubt SHR charters will hit the market.
Not to many “Backmarker” teams available to buy
I think some honorable mentions for the power rankings would be Michael McDowell and Todd Gililland. They have both started near the front and led tons of laps but they have had very bad luck
McDowell definitely, I’m surprised he’s not in the top 10. The next couple weeks will show if he’s the real deal.
gilliland has the most laps led of anybody this season
I could totally See the announcement of a kauling and track house merger giving them 4 charters
I think that’s already been addressed as in not happening now a partnership the way they’ve already got it yes
So every driver now on Kaulig is basically fired ? Lol
Don’t forget he also won the Mexico Series at the Clash a couple weeks ago, he’s superb!
The man.
Yea and was up there in daytona before he got hooked
The Trackhouse business model is pretty much set up to appeal to outside investors. They have multiple opportunities within the entity (with the entertainment group, cross-promotions), a lot of star power and prominence with Pitbull, and their name already reflects a group rather than something like Hendrick or Joe Gibbs. It’d be easy and even expected for a private equity firm to jump in.
Fun fact: The other close finish involving a Busch also had a Blaney in the top 3. Dave Blaney finished 3rd behind Craven and Kurt at Darlington 2003
That’s reaching even farther than my location preference on dating websites
I’d say Chastain is very high on my Power Rankings. He won the final race at Phoenix last year and had a real shot at winning in Daytona. Not to mention he came back from a lap down and finished right behind Bubba.
He has fantastic race control at the front and does well on every type of track from road course to super speedways. Not to mention his knack for moving up the field by taking the unpreferred lanes.
It seems the infamous “talk” he’d gotten about his hard racing which seemed to affect his race craft has finally settled in and he’s better driver than ever.
