Daniel Suarez wins NASCAR Mexico race at the Los Angeles Coliseum

Daniel Suárez took home the checkered flag in Saturday night’s King Taco La Batalla en El Coliseo after missing out on the NASCAR Cup Series Busch Light Clash at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

Due to torrential weather forecasted for LA on Sunday, the race was moved from Sunday to Saturday night, where Suárez beat out Santiago Tovar to the finish line in the 150-lapper at the historic venue.

Starting from third place, Suárez went back to his racing roots and won the NASCAR Mexico Series race by nailing the final restart with seven laps to go.
