Daniel Suárez is facing a career-defining crossroads, and Trackhouse Racing isn’t giving any guarantees. As the team weighs its 2025 lineup, the battle between the veteran and rising star Connor Zilisch is heating up. Meanwhile, the Truck Series faces its own crisis — dwindling fields, low payouts, and alarming financial strain are pushing some teams to the brink. One team official even called it a “dumpster fire.”
With Suárez’s contract talks unresolved and Zilisch proving he’s more than just hype, Trackhouse is under pressure to make a future-focused decision. But this isn’t just about stats, it’s about momentum, identity, and long-term vision. At the same time, the Truck Series’ survival may depend on NASCAR rethinking how it values its lower-tier divisions. Are short tracks and regional focus the key to a revival? Watch the full video to dive into both stories, then sound off in the comments. What should Trackhouse do? And is it time NASCAR reinvests in the series that builds tomorrow’s stars?
