The #1 NASCAR content creator on YouTube, Eric Estepp hosts Out of the Groove, a daily talk show covering news and trending topics in the NASCAR fan community.

Daniel Suárez just confirmed what many suspected: his time at Trackhouse is over, and the split isn’t exactly warm and fuzzy. In this episode, Eric breaks down Suárez’s brutally honest comments, what went wrong behind the scenes, and why he feels underappreciated. But the real twist? He says he has nothing to prove in Xfinity, even if that’s the only viable option for 2026.

  • Why Suárez feels Trackhouse stopped prioritizing him, and why he might be right
  • SVG already has more wins with fewer starts, so where does that leave Suárez?
  • Would a “reset” in Xfinity actually boost his career, or is staying in Cup at all costs the right move?
  • Eric throws out possible 2026 Cup homes—but the list is thin and uncertain

From there, the video dives into an off-the-wall new power rankings list after the chaos of Chicago. Ryan Preece? Ty Gibbs in the top 5? Bowman back in form? And despite a mechanical setback, Chris Buescher still lands high. If you thought the summer stretch would be boring, this week proves otherwise. Driver drama, playoff urgency, and a power shuffle at the top—it’s a perfect storm. This video breaks it all down with honesty and insight.
