Joe Gibbs Racing signs Daniel Suarez to full-time Nationwide ride
Most of the focus at Tuesday morning’s Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) press conference was about Carl Edwards joining the team as their 4th car, but their latest addition to their Nationwide program is just as important. JGR announced that driver Daniel Suarez will join their team in 2015 to compete full-time in the Nationwide Series.
Suarez will be sponsored by broadband technology company ARRIS in what JGR describes as a “multi-year” program. Suarez will also compete in the Truck Series, driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports in 8-10 races.
The 22-year old is currently driving full-time in the NASCAR Mexico Toyota Series where he’s currently the points leader, picking up four wins and six top 5’s in 10 starts. He also drives NASCAR K&N Pro Series East, picking up two wins, four top 5’s and seven top 10’s.
"Having the opportunity to run full time in the NASCAR Nationwide Series with Joe Gibbs Racing is like a dream come true," said Suarez via press release. "Everyone knows how successful they have been in the Nationwide Series and I can't thank ARRIS enough for supporting me next season."
