Daniel Suarez ‘Living a Dream’ with the Nascar XFinity victory in Mexico

Mexico City -With his homeland fans rejoice, Daniel Suarez said he was “living” a dream “while he was last in a backup car to win Saturday’s Nascar Xfinity Series race at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

The crowd roared when Suarez took the lead with 19 laps after Ty Gibbs and Connor Zilisch crashed for the lead and caused an accident of 13 cars.

“In more than 20 years of my career, I have never experienced what I experienced today,” Suarez said. “When I took the lead, I could hear the people like they were driving here (with him). Not just in the stadium. The stadium was large, but also in corners one and two and three. It was incredible. I got gooseHobels and I felt so blessed. ‘

The crowd in the stadium section of the 2.42-mile lane cheered every time he was his black no. 9 drove-it was supposed to be a green number 9, but he ruined that car in the day in the qualification-by leading them in the lead.

“There were people jumping on the fence for Daniel,” runner -up Taylor Gray said about the atmosphere. “It was wild. I’ve never seen anything like that. ‘

When Suarez crossed the finish line, the supporters burst.

It was his fourth win in the career series. He last started in the 39 car field, the deepest starting position for a winner of the roadway in the Xfinity series.

Behind Suarez and Gray were Austin Hill in third place, Christian Eckes and Zilisch.
