Daniel Suarez benefited from a crucial pit call, then caught a break from Mother Nature to win the rain-shortened Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday night, capping an emotional day in which the auto racing world honored the memory of the late Kyle Busch. Suarez became the first Mexican-born driver to win the Coca-Cola 600. It was his third Cup Series win and first since 2024. A non-factor for most of the race, Suarez gambled and took two tires during a pit stop then twice beat Christopher Bell on two separate restarts before the race was called when the skies opened up with rain. NASCAR quickly made the decision to call the race. The victory was especially sweet for Suarez, who ran for Kyle Busch Racing.
