He passes for third. Rapido indeed. #NASCARPlayoffs19427Daniel Suarez's car says "Rapido."He passes for third. Rapido indeed. #NASCARPlayoffs https://t.co/iRshZZZAec Ahead of the upcoming Yellawood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, Suarez claimed to be aware of the risks the 2.66-mile-long track poses for playoff contenders. Along with a fast car and the ability to take calculated risks, "Dega" demands a significant helping of luck for a driver to visit Victory Lane. The 30-year-old driver elaborated on how he approaches the weekend and said: “Talladega is very unpredictable and a lot of things can happen as we all know. As a driver, you can put yourself in good positions and bad positions. You just have to be smart and keep yourself in good positions all day. Of course there is a lot of luck in that. If we can break even in Talladega we will be in good shape. I know the following week on the ROVAL at Charlotte we will be top-five and I expect to race for the win.” Daniel Suárez@Daniel_SuarezGWho’s watching tonight’s episode? #RaceForTheChampionship @USA_Network @NASCAR34033Who’s watching tonight’s episode? #RaceForTheChampionship @USA_Network @NASCAR https://t.co/J1BTlAiR7L When asked about what his thoughts were on the #99 crew winning the championship, Daniel Suarez shared a piece of insight that team owner Justin Marks shared with him. The relatively new upstart, Trackhouse Racing, has solidified its position in the Cup Series this year with three wins under their belts. Suarez shared Marks' words that left an impression on him and said: “Somebody has to win it! You know at the beginning of the year Justin Marks (team owner) said something that really sticks with me. ‘Why not us?’ We might not have the experience in terms of years like many of the other teams have, but what we do have are the people, the corporate partners, and the manufacturer support from Chevrolet to win this so why not? We haven’t gotten here by just luck. We have to continue to do our thing and see where all of this is going to take us.”
