Daniel Suárez became the first Mexican-born driver to win a Nascar Cup Series race Sunday, holding off Chris Buescher for a historic victory at Sonoma Raceway. He is really overjoyed and honored to lift the prestigious NASCAR Cup.

Holding the title, he previewed his entire journey and memories as a motorsport racer. He is very much overwhelmed and shows regards and gratitude towards the fans who were cheering by their hearts just for his success.

Suarez, the 30-year-old native of Monterrey, finally won in the 195th career start of a Cup Series career that began in 2017. He also drove his Track house Racing Chevrolet to the third Cup Series victory of the season.

"I just feel extremely lucky,” Suarez said after holding off Chris Buescher to the checkered flag.

“I'm fortunate to be that driver that the whole Hispanic community can connect with," he added. "I feel like I have an entire country and community behind me.

The people wearing red shirts today, those are my people. Some of them, they have exactly the same journey I have — coming from Mexico, not knowing the language, trying to find an opportunity, having goals and trying to make that dream happen. These are my people, and I feel lucky to be the person to represent all of them.”
