What a race! And it was all topped off by one of the most incredible finishes you’ll ever see. Daniel Suárez took the win in Sunday’s Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway in a three-wide photo finish over Ryan Blaney, and Kyle Busch.
Suárez’s race-winning No. 99 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 underwent the rigors of post-race inspection, and after the officials went over the car with a fine-toothed comb, Suárez’s car pass inspection. As a result, NASCAR has declared Suárez and his team the official winners of Sunday’s event.
This marks the second win of Suárez’s NASCAR Cup Series career, and it’s his first NASCAR Cup Series win on an oval. According to TobyChristie.com’s Joseph Srigley, the win makes the native of Mexico the first foreign-born NASCAR Cup Series race winner to win on an oval and a road course in the history of the NASCAR Cup Series.
