As part of Hispanic Heritage Month, NASCAR Studios, along with WV Alternative from Wilmer Valderrama and FOX Sports, has presented a one-hour documentary about Daniel Suárez, the NASCAR Cup driver, and his emotional return home for a historic race weekend in Mexico City.
The documentary premiered on FOX Sports 1 on September 17 and will be available on Tubi TV starting October 17 for markets in the United States, Mexico, and Latin America. It will also be rebroadcast on various dates on FOX Sports 1, including September 18 at 11:00 PM EST and September 19 at 08:00 AM EST.
A Historic Weekend
The NASCAR Cup Series held its first international race since 1958 at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, with both the NASCAR Cup and the O’Reilly Series participating in this historic weekend in June 2025, with Suárez competing in both races.
Barry Nugent, vice president of programming and original development at FOX Sports, stated: «The most captivating stories go beyond competition, and Daniel’s is one of them. His journey is defined by perseverance, sacrifice, and an unbreakable pride in his roots.»
An Inspiring Journey
Suárez, the only foreign-born driver to win a national NASCAR title, narrates his incredible story, which includes struggles to rise in his professional career and relocating to the United States with hope and a dream. The documentary also covers the race weekend in Mexico, filled with a range of emotions, from successes to setbacks.
The driver speaks of his love for America and his naturalization as a U.S. citizen in 2024, not forgetting the political tensions between Mexico and the United States during the Trump administration and its immigration policies.
Reflections on the Race
Additionally, the documentary reflects on Suárez’s victory at the Coca-Cola 600 in 2026, along with the disappointing results he achieved in the same race the previous year. Speaking about his return to Mexico, Suárez stated: «Competing in front of my country is a dream I’ve had for a long time, and I didn’t fully grasp its meaning until I was there.»
The documentary aims to inspire those who witness his exciting and committed story to pursue their own dreams, no matter where they start from.
