Daniel Suárez and Trackhouse Racing have mutually agreed to part ways at the end of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. Suárez, who has been with Trackhouse since its inception in 2021 as the team's first full-time driver, will not return to drive the No. 99 Chevrolet in 2026. The Mexican driver confirmed that this season will be his last with the team, citing a mutual decision to pursue different paths. While Suárez plans to continue racing elsewhere in 2026, the availability of competitive seats in the NASCAR Cup Series remains limited. Both Suárez and Trackhouse officially announced the split, emphasizing the mutual nature of the decision and the opportunity it provides for the driver to seek new opportunities next season.
