Suarez Has Showcased His Love of Classic Cars
These short days are killing me 😓 Anybody else feel the same? #aircooledvw
Suarez taking part in a classic car series is not a surprise considering that he has a variety of decades-old Volkswagens in his collection. This includes a 1965 Type 3 Notchback, multiple Beetles, and a Volkswagen Bus among others.
The Cup Series driver has put his love of classic cars on display while driving around the Charlotte area, adopting a new cat from the Humane Society, and posing for photoshoots with his dog. Suarez also spent part of his offseason driving classic cars around Mexico with a massive group of friends.
Along with building and driving his own classic cars, Suarez has appeared on other car-centric shows. He joined Jay Leno for multiple episodes of “Jay Leno’s Garage” to examine some unique vehicles. One appearance took place in 2017 and featured discussions about an antique fire engine, a classic Mercedes-Benz, and a dirt-covered Toyota pickup truck. The most recent appearance took place in 2021 while Suarez drove for Trackhouse Racing.
Suarez Will Now Head to a Place Ripe With Classic Cars
“United We Drive” will air on February 3 as Suarez prepares to take on a new challenge. He will head to Southern California, a region known for classic cars and unique vehicles, to take on the first race of the year. He will compete in the Busch Light Clash at the LA Memorial Coliseum.
The trip to the quarter-mile track inside of the football stadium will feature two days of action. There will be practice and qualifying on Saturday, February 5. The heat races, Last Chance Qualifying, and the main event will all take place on Sunday, February 6. FOX will broadcast all of the action from February 6.
Pitbull, a co-owner of Trackhouse Racing, will also perform a 45-minute concert for the fans in attendance prior to the Busch Light Clash. He will join Ice Cube and DJ Skee as performers at the unique preseason event.
The exhibition race will mark the first time since the 2019 season that he has had a teammate. He was one of four drivers for Stewart-Haas Racing in 2019, but he was the only person suiting up for Gaunt Brothers Racing in 2020 and Trackhouse Racing in 2021. Now, however, Suarez will join forces with Ross Chastain as they try to deliver wins to the Cup Series team.
