Today they make an excellent team in the United States, where Daniel drives the No. 99 Chevrolet with the Trackhouse Racing team.

That’s where Suárez says Blasco always wanted to make him part of his team, but it never materialized.

Three years after Daniel Suárez arrived on the American circuit, Blasco joined his team and, if there is one thing that unites them, it is their love for speed and the passion with which they approach each race. Together, they have set out to achieve more triumphs and they are sure that they have everything it takes to achieve their goals.

An interesting fact about these Latinos in NASCAR team is that, despite being Mexican, all of their communication related to technical information about the race is carried out in English and, according to Suárez, this is the universal language of all those who work in auto racing.

When they started working together as a team in NASCAR, Daniel Suárez and José Ramón Blasco made a bet: when Suárez won his first race, he would have one of Blasco’s cars painted in his workshop in Mexico…but, despite Suárez’s victory on June 12, 2022, this has not yet been fulfilled!

This bet is still pending because Blasco could not be present during his driver’s win at Sonoma Raceway. Instead, this team of Latinos will fulfill the bet when Suárez racks up another success, which they hope will be very soon.
