2 months agoDespite Daniel Suárez's heroic win at Atlanta, he has had a lowkey subpar season since then. His speed percentile of 39.16 is 30 percentage points slower than his Trackhouse Racing teammate Ross Chastain's 69.51; this is the second-largest speed differential between two full-time Cup Series teammates behind only Kyle Busch and Austin Dillon. However, Pocono may be one of Suárez's best opportunities to turn things around. His 2018 race at Pocono when he won the pole and led 29 laps en route to finishing second was one of his best-ever drives and he had his fourth-best career driver rating in that race. Additionally, he has scored three more top-10s at Pocono, including a recent third in 2022 despite crashing in last year's event. Trackhouse's speed remains a liability at a track where horsepower is paramount, but if Suárez wants to turn his season around, this could be the place.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
