Could be. Like Pockrass said they have Zilisch in the wings. SVG is doing worse than Suarez, but the gap from 28th to 33rd might be it for the Amigo over SVG and his threat to win on the twisties. Zilisch just got a couple more Cup races to drive added recently to his schedule.
What decent team has an opening for him? I seriously think if he's out at trackhouse he's in Xfinity next season
I was going to say the same thing. Suarez would be hell on wheels in Xfinity if he could find a decent ride.
It's not looking good in terms of rides, but something will materialize. He's too good and in his prime.
He’s already underwhelmed at JGR and SHR. He’s not going to be taking a step up from Trackhouse…he’s running out of places to go to at the Cup level.
He hasn't set the world on fire, but I feel like he has been very good at Trackhouse, way better than his stints at JGR and SHR.
Sounds like Legacy are targeting Jesse Love if they end up expanding to three cars full-time.
SVG is still technically a rookie. But he needs to show he's more than a one-trick pony.
Casey Atwood? Lol. Atwood won a total of 2 Xfinity races in 10 years of trying. 0 for five years in cup.
SVG elevates that charter entry in the season-end points fund by way of winning road races. So long as he reliably wins one or two of those each year, he’s golden. It’d be great if he became a top 15 oval racer, but he doesn’t really need to. Maybe he can make a couple of R12 appearances out of it if he does.
Only if NASCAR moves the Charlotte Roval to the first round.
Playoff points can make a significant difference at the cut line. He has 6 with three road courses in between now and the playoffs. Historically, that and/or simply bringing the car home trouble-free three races in a row is usually enough to advance past the first round.
Daniel thinks he is a Cup driver.
I heard that, and Jesse Love as well. Makes me wonder what WE are thinking for Heim. Hard to plan around 23XI with all of the court crap.....I am thinking that if Jimmie is willing to look elsewhere, WE might be willing to pony up more $ support to encourage him to stay within the family.
He finished 23rd at Charlotte and 11th at Atlanta. That is better than Suarez 34th and 36th.
But is keeping him in an Xfinity car going to prepare him? The cars drive wildly different and there's very few top level drivers in that series to learn from. SVG himself said the year in Xfinity did nothing to prepare him for cup because the cars are completely different.
That's a good point. I guess Zilisch is going to be a Cup driver next year. Huge get for Trackhouse.
Suarez had rough luck both times though. But his performance has left a lot to be desired this year for sure.
It won't be RWR next year. Maybe kick Cody to the curb and bring Amigo in?
Jr already has an experience veteran in Allgaier, one who shows no sign of losing a step. Daniel is six years younger but will Jr. want another vet? Will Chevy want to keep that as a development seat?
