DANIEL SUAREZ

Daniel Suarez will forever be remembered as the winner of an incredible three-wide photo finish at the first Atlanta race in 2024, one of the greatest finishes in NASCAR's 76-year-history. But the Trackhouse driver isn't satisfied.

He sat down for a one-on-one interview and talked about a variety of topics, including the start to this season, how the tire issue at Bristol unexpectedly answered the horsepower debate, why he believes his bad behavior and subsequent $50,000 fine in last year's race at Circuit of the Americas resulted in a rule change in the 2024 edition, and how he thinks F1 should take a lesson from NASCAR to improve its "boring" racing product.


ZANE SMITH

Zane Smith won the NASCAR Truck Series championship in 2022. This season, his first as a full-time Cup Series rookie, has been a struggle.

The 24-year-old Spire Motorsports driver sat down for an interview where he talked about a variety of topics, including his rough start and how he might turn things around at Circuit of the Americas, his telesphobia, his relationship with Carson Hocevar and Corey LaJoie, and he provided an interesting breakdown of just how hard it is to be a NASCAR driver racing at 190 MPH.
