Trackhouse Owner Seeks Unity After Chastain Spins Suárez

Justin Marks facilitated a private meeting between the drivers to restore trust on the eve of the playoffs.

Daniel Suarez, driver of the #99 Freeway Insurance Chevrolet, looks on during practice for the NASCAR Cup Series Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway on July 12, 2025 in Sonoma, California.

Overview

  • Ross Chastain overshot Turn 11 at Sonoma Raceway on lap 45, spinning teammate Daniel Suárez and immediately apologizing over team radio.
  • Trackhouse owner Justin Marks arranged a one-on-one discussion the morning after the Toyota/Save Mart 350 to help both drivers move past the incident.
  • Marks underscored that trust and open communication are vital to preserving team cohesion as the playoffs approach.
  • Suárez, set to depart Trackhouse after this season, remains unsettled by the collision and has no confirmed ride for 2026.
  • Veteran voices like Denny Hamlin and Dale Earnhardt Jr. judged the spin unintentional and noted that Suárez’s defensive block contributed to the contact.
