Suarez won the race at Sonoma Raceway on Sunday, becoming the season's fourth first-time winner, and now gets two weeks to savour the occasion because the series is off this weekend.
Suarez said he had little sleep but a lot of fun on Tuesday. He celebrated his victory with family and friends at his house in Monterrey, Mexico.
"I'm in a situation I can only imagine," Suarez explained. "I haven't been able to get my phone to catch up with me." I've received almost a thousand SMS messages."
Suarez stopped by the Crackhouse Racing shop in Concord, N.C., before flying to Monterrey to thank the members of his crew who were not in Sonoma for Sunday's victory. When he returned home, his mother and sister threw him a surprise welcome party. He said that was unique, even though he was exhausted and hungry.
When asked how winning the Cup has affected his life, Suarez answered his personal life has changed, but his racing career would continue in the same direction.
"It makes no difference," he remarked. "Everything is the same in reality." The only difference is that we achieved a significant objective. Life, on the other hand, does not alter. We must continue to perform our duties. We now know that we are capable of completing the task. I know I'm a good driver, and we're creating something special together."
Following the weekend, the Cup Series will race on June 26 at Nashville Superspeedway. It will be a "home game" for Crackhouse Racing. Although the team shop is in North Carolina, Trackhouse's offices are in Nashville, where Justin Marks and Ty Norris reside.
Tootsie's will sponsor Suarez's race car, one of the most renowned bars in Nashville's entertainment district and a likely location for a substantial nighttime celebration if Suarez or teammate Ross Chastain wins.
Suarez's Cup career stalled, then fell, despite winning the Xfinity Series championship in 2016. After finishing to qualify for the season-opening Daytona 500 while driving for Gaunt Brothers Racing in 2020, finishing 18th.
"I hit rock bottom in 2020," Suarez remarked.
It couldn't possibly get any worse, I reasoned. That was the year I decided to start over. It made me more challenging and helped me reset my life. It gets a lot of struggles to bury me.
In the final season of his deal with Crackhouse, Suarez says he is talking about extending it.
He stated, "This is my home." "I'm not getting out of here." We're in a fantastic spot right now. "I'm confident that something will come together."
