Aggressive Blocking Costs Daniel Suarez At Darlington
1 year agoDespite finishing in 34th place in Sunday's Cook Out Southern 500, Daniel Suarez had a much better race than the results suggest. He was running in the top 10 with 49 laps to go when an incident with Alex Bowman caused the left front tire of his No. 99 car to lock up, effectively ending his night. Specifically, Bowman aggressively blocked Suarez twice as he attempted to pass, a move that Dale Earnhardt Jr. described as "ridiculous" during the broadcast. Although neither driver is in the playoffs, the unnecessary move ruined what was looking to be a good night for the Trackhouse star, as well as for the 7.14% of people who played him on DraftKings.
