As part of National Hispanic Heritage Month, NASCAR Studios has launched an evocative documentary that follows driver Daniel Suárez during his emotional return to Mexico to participate in an unforgettable race weekend. The documentary, titled ‘Suárez’, premiered on FOX Sports 1 on September 17 and will be available on Tubi TV starting October 17.
The project, created in collaboration with WV Alternative by Wilmer Valderrama and FOX Sports, portrays Suárez’s story, the first and only driver born abroad to win a national NASCAR title, as well as his impact on the motorsport community. The weekend in Mexico City was historic, as NASCAR competed at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, the first international race since 1958.
In this documentary, Suárez shares his life experience, from his significant love for the United States to his recent acquisition of American citizenship in 2024, as well as the challenges he has faced due to political tensions between Mexico and the United States. He insists on the importance of this race weekend, which was marked by emotional highs and lows.
Barry Nugent, Vice President of Development and Original Programming at FOX Sports, commented on the strength of Suárez’s story, highlighting his perseverance and pride. The documentary not only captures his personal journey but also seeks to inspire new drivers to pursue their dreams no matter where they come from.
Finally, Suárez reflected on what it means for him to race at home: ‘Mexico will always be an essential part of who I am, and racing here at such a high level was an incredibly significant moment in my life. I hope that viewers understand what I have lived and feel motivated to pursue their own dreams.’
