Daniel Suarez sits 16th in Chase standings after Kansas

Daniel Suárez finished 14th Sunday at Kansas Speedway after an uneven afternoon for the No. 7 Spire Motorsports team. Suárez started 14th but slid backward during the opening stage and was running 23rd at the first stage break.

The Chevrolet improved as the race progressed, allowing Suárez to recover the positions he had lost and return to his original starting spot. He avoided the multicar crash involving teammate Carson Hocevar and completed all 267 laps on the lead lap.
