BREAKING: Daniel Suárez OUT at Trackhouse after 2025. What seemed like the best opportunity of his Cup career has come to a quiet, early end. After five seasons, two wins, and plenty of fanfare, Suárez and Trackhouse are going their separate ways. But why announce this now, before Chicago and Sonoma, his best tracks? And who takes over the 99?

  • Was this always the plan after Suárez signed only a one-year extension?
  • Is Connor Zilisch, the 18-year-old phenom, about to be fast-tracked to Cup?
  • Could another team be trying to poach Zilisch, forcing Trackhouse’s hand?
  • And what exactly is next for Suárez, with no obvious landing spots in Cup?

Eric breaks it all down—no script, no fluff, just a raw, real reaction. From evaluating Suárez’s regression to breaking down Zilisch’s rise, this one digs deeper than the press release. Plus, who might sneak into that 99 car if it’s not Zilisch? There’s no sugarcoating the timing; it’s odd, but it might hint at a bigger move coming soon. Could this be the first domino of silly season falling early?
