Mexican driver Daniel Suárez out of NASCAR ride at Trackhouse Racing at end of 2025 season
CONCORD, N.C. — Daniel Suárez, the only Mexican-born driver to win a NASCAR national series race, is out at Trackhouse Racing at the end of the 2025 season. HT Image Trackhouse and Suárez officially called the parting a 'mutual decision' that allows the driver an earlier opportunity to pursue a new ride for next season. While Trackhouse did not name a replacement in the No. 99 Chevrolet, Suárez's departure opened the door for the team to promote teen sensation Connor Zilisch into the ride. Zilisch, who drives in the Xfinity Series for JR Motorsports, has run three Cup races for Trackhouse this season, including Saturday night at Atlanta. Suárez has just two wins in 305 career Cup starts, and is a distant 29th in the points standings this season. The 33-year-old Suarez is in his fifth season with Trackhouse Racing and was the team's first driver in 2021. He made NASCAR's playoffs two times with Trackhouse. 'We took a team nobody had even heard of in 2021 and in just a couple of years we were winning races and running upfront on a weekly basis,' Suárez wrote on social media. 'Just like the seasons in a year, sometimes things change and we have agreed to each go in our own direction.' Trackhouse founder and owner Justin Marks thanked Suárez for his contributions. 'The role Daniel has played in the Trackhouse origin story and its first five years will remain a valued part of the company's history forever,' Marks said. 'His commitment, work ethic and dedication to the effort is one of the most impressive things I personally have seen in my career.' Trackhouse Racing also has Ross Chastain and Shane van Gisbergen under contract, along with Zilisch is its development driver. Chastain has six career wins and was the 2022 Cup Series runner-up while van Gisbergen has a win this year and is in the playoffs. Suárez, who became an American citizen last year, also has three Xfinity Series wins and one Truck Series win. His 2016 championship in the second-tier Xfinity Series made him the only foreign-born driver to win a national series title. He made a triumphant return last month to his home country when he won the Xfinity Series race in Mexico City driving for JR Motorsports at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Yet the balance of celebrating a homecoming with looming contract negotiations weighed on Suárez. 'It's not the first time that I've been in this position. Definitely the first time with the Mexico race, but it's not the first time that I've been in the position that we have to win or in the position that we have a contract negotiation in the middle of the season,' Suárez said. 'It's definitely a distraction. I won't sit here and tell you that it doesn't really matter. I'm trying to be as smart as possible and to put all this stuff on the side and just do my thing on the track.' He'll do his thing at the track in 2026 with yet another new team. Suarez started his Cup career with Joe Gibbs Racing and has raced for Stewart-Haas Racing and Gaunt Brothers Racing. He has Cup wins in 2022 at Sonoma and last year in Atlanta. auto racing: /hub/auto-racing This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Brad Pitt's F1 movie hits theatres, but internet says Saif Ali Khan's 'Ta Ra Rum Pum did it first'
Brad Pitt may be racing into theatres with his latest Hollywood outing, F1, but Indian moviegoers have already waved the checkered flag in favour of a 2007 Bollywood classic: Ta Ra Rum Pum. Released in India on June 27, F1 follows Pitt as a former Formula One driver making a high-stakes return to the racing world to save a struggling team. While the film boasts sleek visuals, real F1 footage, and the signature Hollywood sheen, Indian fans on social media are drawing parallels to a much earlier cinematic ride: Ta Ra Rum Pum, starring Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukherji. Across X and Instagram, Indian fans have been posting side-by-side comparisons, with many joking that F1 feels like a high-budget remake of Ta Ra Rum Pum — minus the songs, emotional intensity, and 'bring it on jaana' energy. A user asked on X, 'F1 might be good and all, but have you seen ta ra rum pum? like, HAVE YOU?' And Indian fans aren't letting Hollywood forget that Bollywood did it all , with full musical numbers, dramatic rain sequences, and kids who taught us resilience (and how to sing while being broke). "Don't compare Brad Pitt's F1 to Tara Rum Pum, the angrezi one doesn't have 'bring it on bring it on bring it on jaana ab toh forever',' wrote another. "F1 movie is a remake of our classic Bollywood movie called Tara Rum Pum," declared the third user. "Recently rewatched the 2007 Bollywood movie Ta Ra Rum Pum and it's literally just the upcoming F1 movie but better. I know it's NASCAR, but there's more substance in this. Way more," the fourth user expressed. The fifth user commented, "F1 movie is beasically Tara Rum Pum in English with same plot as driver once who was top of his game becomes taxi driver and struggles but later does the comeback!" While F1 is set in the high-octane world of Formula One racing, Ta Ra Rum Pum unfolded in the NASCAR circuit, with Saif playing Rajveer Singh, a hotshot racer who crashes, falls into financial ruin, and climbs his way back, supported by his family and a few unforgettable songs along the way.

Elliott is in position to contend for 2nd NASCAR title following 'surreal' last-lap win in Atlanta
HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — Chase Elliott couldn't have picked a better setting for a drought-breaking win. HT Image Fans roared in approval after Elliott, the home-state favorite, passed Brad Keselowski on the final lap to end a 44-race drought by winning the NASCAR Cup Series at Atlanta on Saturday night. Elliott's 20th career victory pushed him to second place in the Cup Series points race, putting him in prime position to return to the top of the NASCAR world after winning his first championship in 2020. Elliott earned a spot in the NASCAR playoffs with his first victory since April 2024 at Texas. He said he'll always remember the win as a career highlight, in part because of the ovation from fans who chanted 'Chase! Chase! Chase!' Elliott, a Dawsonville, Georgia, native, climbed into the stands at EchoPark Speedway, formerly Atlanta Motor Speedway, to celebrate with the fans. 'It was, truthfully, a pretty surreal moment,' Elliott said. 'Something I'll remember for the rest of my life. ... Saturday night under the lights, been a while since we won, just getting ourselves a win and advancing up on the playoff thing." It was his first Atlanta win since 2022. Elliott has 594 points, 37 behind Hendrick Motorsports teammate William Byron, who has 631. A third Hendrick Motorsports driver, Kyle Larson, is third. Another Hendrick driver, Alex Bowman, played a key role in Elliott's comeback win. Bowman, who finished third, gave Elliott a push and then helped block Keselowski on the final lap. 'I'm happy for the 9 team,' Bowman said. 'It's a big win for him in his hometown. ... I'm glad to have a Hendrick car in victory lane. I wish it was us.' Elliott said he'll try to repay the favor by helping Bowman join the other three Hendrick drivers in the playoffs. 'I recognize that he gave me a great shove," Elliott said. "I recognize that he took his run on Brad, too, to try to get himself to second, which ultimately helped me as well. 'Yeah, those are all things that I remember.' Elliott advanced to the second round of NASCAR's new In-Season Challenge, a five-race, bracket-style tournament. With the field cut from 32 to 16 drivers, Elliott will be paired against John Hunter Nemechek when the Cup Series moves to the Chicago Street Race next Sunday. A $1 million prize awaits the winner, and Elliott's odds improved after Atlanta wrecks knocked out the top two seeds, Denny Hamlin and Chase Briscoe. Elliott wouldn't be the first family member to win a $1 million bonus. In 1985 his father, Bill Elliott, became the first winner of the Winston Million as a reward for claiming wins in three of the circuit's top four races at the time. The bonus earned the elder Elliott the nickname 'Million Dollar Bill.' Now the younger Elliott is a strong contender to become first in line for another $1 million prize. 'It'd be a really cool thing to win for sure and hope it works out that way," Chase Elliott said. Elliott's victory drought came after he needed surgery to repair a broken tibia in his left leg suffered in a snowboarding accident and missed six races in 2023. He said the support of longtime crew chief Alan Gustafson was 'in large part' responsible for helping him retain his confidence and reclaim his winning form. Gustafson said the win was more important for the 2025 playoff race than for ending the victory drought. 'The points were getting tight for the playoffs, for sure,' Gustafson said. 'I think that's probably the biggest thing. I think all the cars contending to win, I don't think any of them had won. I think that's probably the biggest thing we needed was that cushion.' Saturday night's win was Elliott's third consecutive top-five finish. 'When you're fortunate enough to climb the mountain and be able to stand at the top of the mountain with someone, that's an incredible achievement, right?' Elliott said. 'That's something that (Gustafson) and I will always cherish and remember that we did that together. 'For me it's really, really important to climb that mountain with the same people that we did the first time and know that we never quit on each other. That's just a really important piece of the puzzle for me.' ___ AP auto racing:
