Daniel Suarez reflects on missing a race if his wife Julia Piquet goes into labor on race day
Daniel Suarez recently on the Dirty Mo Media podcast revealed what he will do if the baby arrives on the race.
Speaking about how we will handle the situation, Suarez said that he doesn’t have a plan, but he will not miss the race if the birth coincides with the race day during the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs.
“Honestly, I don’t have a plan. I don’t really have a plan. I know Julia don’t want me to miss a race, and obviously, we’re going to be on the playoffs. So, I can’t miss a race. Depends where we are, depends the time. Maybe if baby was coming Saturday, maybe missing a Saturday would be okay right now if he’s somewhere close, but not Sunday. Like Sunday, I’m not missing a race. I just can’t, you know, being in the playoffs, being so competitive with the team and we have just so many great teams that we’re building that I just can’t” Suarez said on Bless Your ‘Hardt.
The Spire Motorsports driver stands at 11th place in the NASCAR Cup Series points standings with a win, two top-five, and six top-10 finishes. He is finishing the race at an average finish of 14.7 this season.
