Mexican driver Daniel Suarez has all the pressure heading to home race
NASCAR Cup Series Mexican driver Daniel Suarez has all the pressure heading to home race Published Jun. 10, 2025 11:20 a.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Racing in his home country alone would put pressure on Daniel Suarez. Daniel Suárez waves to the crowd during introductions prior to the running of the NASCAR Cup Series Cracker Barrel 400 Entering the NASCAR Cup Series debut in Mexico City sitting 28th in the standings and without a contract for next season just adds to the pressure the Trackhouse driver will face Sunday at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. "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]," Suarez 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." ADVERTISEMENT The 33-year-old Suarez, who grew up in Monterrey, is the only Mexican-born driver to win a NASCAR national series race. He has won two Cup races, three Xfinity races and one truck race. He is the only foreign-born driver to win a NASCAR national series title, which was the Xfinity Series in 2016. Daniel Suarez walks onstage wearing a Lucha Libre mask during driver intros prior to the NASCAR Cup Series All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway The Xfinity Series raced at the Mexico City track but with a different layout from 2005 through 2008. But this will mark the first Cup race in Mexico City and the first Cup points race outside the United States since 1958 when the Cup Series raced in Toronto. Cup held exhibition races in Japan from 1996 through 1998. The Mexican fans obviously have someone to root for in Suarez, who has been to Mexico six times in the last year to promote the race. He went to a premiere of the NASCAR series on Netflix there, and fans who had been following him since he drove in the NASCAR Mexico Series from 2010 through 2014 showed up. Suarez believes those who followed him 15 years ago and those who just will see there is a Mexican driver competing will cheer for him. "There are going to be the new fans, the fans that don't really know me and they just love racing and they know that there is a Mexican driver. They're going to be there with me and there is going to be these fans that they've been supporting me in all my journey," Suarez said. For those who have followed Suarez's career, they have seen him go through the ups and downs of driving for four different Cup teams. He has been at Trackhouse Racing since 2021 and signed a one-year extension last year. The year so far has been disappointing for Suarez, who won the second race of the year in 2024 and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. His average finish of 21st is three spots worse than last year. He has averaged 10 top-10 finishes a year the last three years but is on pace for seven this year with three in the first 15 races. Suarez is determined not to let those struggles or wondering where he will race next year ruin the Mexico race experience. "The Mexico race is something that I've been hoping and waiting on for many, many years, and I'm not going to let anything else from outside take that week and that moment from myself," Suarez said. "We have to just continue to put one foot in front of the other and continue to move forward. I think that in Trackhouse, we have found some decent speed in the last few weeks, so that's promising, and hopefully we can continue to move in that direction." In his ninth full-time Cup season, Suarez has 302 career Cup starts, and if he doesn't ink a new deal with Trackhouse, there could be few opportunities for a comparable organization. A win can change everything, and road course races typically are ones where Suarez has shown strength. His first Cup victory came at the road course in Sonoma, and the next five Cup races include road-course races at Mexico City, Sonoma and the Chicago street course. "We just have to execute," Suarez said. "We have to do the little things right, and I believe that we're capable of doing that. ... We win next week, and all these conversations are going to be out of the window." Suarez said he plans to arrive in Mexico on Tuesday, June 10. Then, he'll do many of his public appearances over the next three days. Once cars hit the track on Friday, he needs to focus on trying to do all the little things right. "There is going to be more on my plate [in Mexico] and I have to accept that," Suarez said. "With that being said, I have to protect my space for the competition stuff because if we don't do the competition stuff, everything else, it doesn't really matter. "We have to put a balance on everything. ... [So by] Friday, I can try to focus as much as possible only on racing. I'm going to have still a few things here and there, but for the most part, it is going to be racing." Suarez will have Mexican communication company Telcel on his car. "For many years, I never had a sponsor deal with a company from Mexico because I wasn't racing there," Suarez said. "So right now that we're going to be having an event down there, it opens a whole new world of opportunities and that's great, not just … obviously for me, but for the entire sport."

Why Jameson Williams is no longer a boom-or-bust fantasy football option in 2025
(This article was written with the assistance of Castmagic, an AI tool, and reviewed by our editorial team to ensure accuracy. Please reach out to us if you notice any mistakes.) If you're looking for contenders who could break through another glass ceiling in fantasy football this coming season, Jameson Williams' name is likely floating around your draft board. But does the buzz match the reality for 2025? To answer that, let's turn to the keen insights from Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski on the latest edition of the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast, where they dove into Williams' outlook with the kind of nuance and reality check this wideout deserves. Subscribe to Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. Advertisement Matt and Scott wasted no time calling out a key fantasy football narrative — the idea that Williams "might break out" in 2025 is already a little backward. In Matt's words: 'They're talking about [Williams] again this year like they were last year ... People are being like, 'Oh, yeah, they're hyping up Jameson Williams for a breakout year.' He had a breakout year last year. What are we talking about?" That's the crux of it: While many fantasy players and analysts are looking for Williams' leap this season, Harmon's view is that the leap already happened in 2024. After a slow start to his NFL career, Williams' growth last season was more than just flashes — he became a genuine threat in Detroit's offense. Advertisement That said, both Harmon and Pianowski do agree Williams is 'a maddening player' — not because he's unreliable, but because his multi-layered skill set gives Detroit so many options. He can 'take the top off the defense' but also house any short throw. That level of weaponry means opposing defenses have to account for him at all times, as Scott said: 'He could also catch any pass behind the line of scrimmage or any short little dig and take it to the house ... Just to have a guy like that, it changes how teams have to defend you because they're just petrified of him all the time.' The Lions are clearly aware of this. They've been vocal about Williams again this offseason, not as a hope-for breakout, but as a key piece they need playing at his best. It's about keeping him 'engaged,' as Matt put it. One of the overlooked angles from the Forecast's discussion was a potential shift in the Lions' playstyle in 2025. Frank Ragnow's retirement signals trouble for their previously dominant O-line, meaning Detroit might need to pass more simply to move the ball as efficiently as before. Advertisement Translation? More volume for Detroit's pass-catchers, and that includes Williams. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Williams isn't just a deep threat or a boom-bust flex. He's morphing into a true every-week piece, especially with the likely changes to Detroit's offense after the departure of their All-Pro center. So, if you're looking for upside, don't think of Williams as a guy with more to prove. He's already proved it — now, he's stepping into a bigger opportunity with a potentially higher target floor and established big-play upside. That's a compelling package for a receiver currently being drafted as WR24. Draft him for what he is, not what you hope he'll become — because Jameson Williams is already living his breakout. 2025 might just be where the rest of the world catches up.
