Last year, NASCAR introduced its inaugural street race at Chicago, marking a historic moment in the sport. The Trackhouse Racing team made waves by allowing a foreign driver to pilot their third car under the Project 91 initiative. This decision brought Australian Supercar champion Shane Van Gisbergen to NASCAR’s prestigious event at Chicago, where he clinched victory in spectacular fashion.

For eligibility in the All-Star race, NASCAR requires drivers who have won races during the 2023-24 season. Despite meeting this requirement, Van Gisbergen faced a setback as both of the teams denied their cars to feature in the prestigious event, ultimately preventing him from participating.
Trackhouse Racing driver clears Citizenship Test
Ahead of a recent race at Dover, Daniel Suarez announced that he would be taking the US citizenship test. Like most people, he hadn’t faced an exam since childhood, and the pressure was on. As a full-time Cup Series driver, Suarez is accustomed to high-stakes situations, but this was different. The results would determine not only his status but also his connection to the country that has given him so much.
In an emotional video shared with his fans, Trackhouse driver Suarez revealed the outcome: “I passed! So that was great. It was interesting actually, having an exam. I’ve been out of school a long time. This was the first time I had to study for an exam for a long time.” His relief and gratitude were palpable.
