Freeway Insurance-sponsored driver Daniel Suarez has picked up the second win of the NASCAR season during the Ambetter Health 400 on Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Georgia. William Byron kicked off the season with a win in the historic Daytona 500.
This was the closest race in NASCAR history with the three finishers finishing side-by-side. Suarez won by .003 seconds over Ryan Blaney.
“It was a very special moment,” Suarez said, who entered this contract year with his future seemingly uncertain with Trackhouse Racing, according to the Associated Press. “I was just hoping. I saw the tower and thought I was first. I thought I had it but then they said there was a review.”

It was so close that the finish had to go under review. After the review, it was confirmed that Suarez won for the first time since June 2022.
“Some people actually told me you can relax, now you’re in the playoffs,” Suarez said. “Hell no! My goal is to win more than one race. This is not relaxing here. … The goal is for you to not be surprised when the 99 is in victory lane.”
The BodyArmor Zero Sugar-sponsored driver Blaney led 31 laps before coming in second place. Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen sponsored driver Kyle Busch finished third.

“It was fun racing, but just a couple inches short,” Blaney said. “I’m happy for Daniel, though. That was fun racing him and Kyle. That was fun.”
MenardsKnauf Insulation sponsored driver Austin Cindric finished fourth. MoneyLion-sponsored driver Bubba Wallace finished fifth.
