Women in Motorsports North America (WIMNA), Gainbridge℠ and Spire Motorsports will partner to highlight WIMNA Nation aboard Daniel Suárez’s No. 7 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 when the NASCAR Cup Series returns to Kansas Speedway Sept. 27 for the second of two 2026 stops at the popular mile-and-a-half Kansas City oval.
The 30th event on this year’s calendar and fourth of 10 races in NASCAR’s “Chase” championship format will include WIMNA Nation’s celebration of community, connection, and passion while continuing to drive the inclusive nature of professional Motorsports in North America forward.
As part of the visionary collaboration, the hood of Suárez’s No. 7 Chevy will display the WIMNA Nation logo and include the names of all current WIMNA Nation members, showcasing the strength, dedication, and impact of a growing community on a national scale.
Following the race, one lucky random WIMNA Nation member will be awarded the hood from the No. 7 machine, personally autographed by Suárez. The once-in-a-lifetime keepsake will serve as a lasting tribute to the members who continue to inspire, support, and fuel the future of women in the motorsports industry. To be included on the hood, you must register for WIMNA Nation by August 13, 2026, at https://womeninmotorsportsna.com/wimna-nation.
“Seeing the WIMNA Nation logo on the No. 7 Gainbridge/WIMNA Chevrolet driven by Daniel Suárez is incredibly meaningful, but what makes this moment truly special are the names on the hood,” said Cindy Sisson, Executive Director of WIMNA. “Each name represents someone who believes in our mission to advance, connect, and enable women in motorsports. This is more than a race car—it’s a powerful symbol of belonging and the incredible community we are building together. We are deeply grateful to Gainbridge and Spire Motorsports for creating this unforgettable opportunity, and we can’t wait to cheer on Daniel Suárez at Kansas Speedway.”
“Gainbridge is proud to partner with Spire Motorsports to shine a light on the important work WIMNA is doing to create and champion opportunities for women across all areas of motorsports,” said Mike Nichols, Chief of Sponsorship Strategy and Activation at Group 1001. “Supporting organizations like WIMNA aligns with Gainbridge’s continued commitment to investing in the future of professional women’s sports and communities across the country through the Gainbridge Assists grant program.”
Suárez will make his 20th career start at Kansas Speedway, where he owns two top-10 finishes. His best result at the racy, multi-groove oval is a seventh-place finish in 2017.
The Monterrey, Mexico, native and 2026 Coca-Cola 600 winner is enjoying a breakout season, highlighted by one victory, two top fives and six top 10s. He currently sits 11th in the NASCAR Cup Series standings with 14 races remaining to determine this year’s champion. Through 22 races, Suárez has posted an average finish of 14.7 and finished outside the top 20 just four times this season.
“I’m looking forward to seeing WIMNA Nation and Gainbridge on our No. 7 Chevrolet at Kansas Speedway,” said Suárez. “What makes this collaboration so meaningful is it’s not just a logo on a race car. The effort represents the passionate women and their allies who are helping shape the future and drive the sport. Having the names of WIMNA Nation members on the hood of our car is a special way to bring their stories, passion, and support with us to the track. I’m proud to drive this car and celebrate such an incredible community.”
The Hollywood Casino 400 from Kansas Speedway will be televised live on USA Network Sunday, Sept. 27 beginning at 3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The 30th of 36 points-paying races on the 2026 calendar will be broadcast live on the Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
