Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Daniel Suarez's future in NASCAR remains muddled in uncertainty, though he is still relaxed about his situation for the time being. The Mexican driver's contract expires at the end of the season after he signed a one-year extension last year. Suarez notched an impressive win at the Xfinity race in Mexico City, capturing the victory at his home race.

His teammates Ross Chastain and Shane van Gisbergen both won races this season and are playoff-bound. While this season is not going the way Suarez wants, he is still hopeful that he will stay with the team. "We'll see what happens," he said on the Dale Jr. Download. "There [are] still a lot of things [up] in the air, right now. There [are] just some things that I'm just uncomfortable in a few areas, a few things, but I love Trackhouse and I love this team. And this team for me has been my best home in the Cup Series. "I want to have more success with this team and I want to see this team successful, regardless of if I'm in it or not. But we'll see what happens. "Right now, honestly, everything is an option. But I think there are a lot of things that honestly, I don't even know the answer. All I know is that things are going to work out. They always do. I'm working very, very hard. The team is doing their job. The [No.] 99 team, what an amazing group of guys. "My crew chief, mechanics, and the pit crew. I have an amazing group, and we'll see what happens. But there are still a lot of things in the air, and I hope that everything works out in a way that everyone is happy." Suarez broke into NASCAR with Joe Gibbs Racing, eventually leaving to join Stewart-Haas Racing, before ending up at Trackhouse. Trackhouse has JR Motorsports standout Connor Zilisch as the team's development driver. His impressive racing in the Xfinity series might net him a seat in the Cup Series. Suarez needs a win to capture a playoff spot and potentially save his seat. "A lot of things have happened in the last 10 months or so," Suarez added on his podcast appearance. "I love Trackhouse. This is my home, and I'm forever thankful for everything that Justin and Trackhouse and Ty Norris, at the time, and a lot of people have done to build this amazing place. "Lately, it's been a little bit of a struggle, not just on the track but also off the track in a few things, and right now, we are in a must-win situation. We're in a must-win situation. The good thing about that is that we have good racetracks [coming] for us." For more NASCAR news, head on over to Newsweek Sports.

Use Xfinity Mobile on a Pixel phone? You may be getting a Wi-Fi Speed Boost
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Xfinity Mobile's WiFi PowerBoost lets your phone access Wi-Fi speeds in excess of the internet plan you're paying for. So far it's supported iPhones and Samsung Galaxy flagships and mid-rangers, but not Android phones at large. New settings for 'Xfinity Speed Boost' in Google's Adaptive Connectivity Service app suggest availability could be improving. Going online with your smartphone over a Wi-Fi connection can offer a lot of advantages compared to a cellular connection. But ultimately, what you get out of Wi-Fi is limited by the internet connection feeding it; if you're only paying for a 300Mbps plan with your ISP, you've got no hope of your Wi-Fi speeds surpassing that, right? You'd think so, but thanks to the existence of companies that offer both cellular and wired home internet service, there's a special edge case where this isn't necessarily true — and we just spotted something that points to Pixel phones getting access to this trick on Xfinity. Xfinity Mobile offers a feature for its users called WiFi PowerBoost. Basically, when you connect your Xfinity Mobile phone to a compatible Wi-Fi router that's using Xfinity as its ISP, the router will automatically raise speeds to up to 1Gbps, even if subscribed to a slower plan. That doesn't even have to be your home router, either. Maybe the most limiting factor there is the list of supported phones, and while PowerBoost works with iPhones, as well as both Samsung flagship and mid-range models, that list doesn't include Google Pixel phones. Or at least, it hasn't so far. Spectrum Mobile also offers a similar service, branded as Spectrum Speed Boost. And we've already seen Google supporting that in the company's Adaptive Connectivity Service app. With the app's new p.2025.22 release, however, we've spotted a very similar-looking new entry for 'Xfinity Speed Boost.' While we have not yet been able to formally confirm, this sure sounds like it's talking about WiFi PowerBoost, only carrying over the existing Spectrum branding that was in the app. The description of the functionality included sure seems to align with what we know of the service, and its presence here strongly suggests that we could be seeing PowerBoost expand to support Pixel phones. Hopefully we'll get some formal confirmation from Xfinity soon, and maybe learn precisely the scope of this broadening support. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

The company is also getting rid of data caps to give customers true unlimited internet. Today, Comcast announced that it is launching its 'everyday pricing structure.' This launch is being followed by the rollout of four simplified national plans: 300Mbps, 500Mbps, 1Gbps, and 2Gbps. The cost of these plans will differ depending on the tier you choose: one-year price guarantee, five-year price guarantee, or everyday price.

'Now all our Xfinity Internet packages are built on simplicity and transparency — no hidden fees, no confusion — just the best, most reliable and secure Wi-Fi that sets a new standard for the ultimate connected experience.'
