Daniel Suarez Returns to Form After Mid-Season Slump
3 months agoAfter a lackluster middle portion of the season, Daniel Suarez has begun to rebound as his eighth-place finish at Michigan was his third straight top ten, giving him a lot of momentum entering the playoffs. Although he ran nowhere near as well as he did at Richmond, those two races back-to-back actually mark the first time he has had above-average speed in consecutive races since Phoenix in race 4. Although Ross Chastain definitely outran him, Suarez got a higher finish for only the fifth time in the races both of them have finished, but three of those have come in the last five races, which clearly suggests that the positive momentum from his marriage and contract renewal is reaping dividends as he is beginning to regain his competitiveness.
