NASCAR's Daniel Suárez Becomes U.S. Citizen After 12 Years in America

The Mexican-born driver celebrated his naturalization with family, teammates, and NASCAR officials in Charlotte.

Daniel Suárez took the citizenship oath on June 18 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Suárez moved to the U.S. in 2012 to pursue a racing career and began the citizenship process six years ago.
His fiancée, Trackhouse Racing team members, and NASCAR president Steve Phelps attended the ceremony.
Suárez never initially planned to become a citizen, focusing solely on his racing career.
He is the first international champion of NASCAR's Xfinity Series and has two career Cup wins.
