So happy for you, Amigo!!!

Hey there Steven! In English it's known as Day of the Dead so one might think that th automatic translation would be that. I just wanted to share with you the way we refer to it here. But other than that I appreciate you mentioned that in the post-race press conference. I hope to see you soon I'm the media room. Hopefully in San Diego.

@IsraelGerman From what I remember learning Spanish I think stuff like that is interchangeable and you can drop things like "el", "la", "los", "las", etc. I realize I do not know the most about it but I know about the festivities and I also know that Mexico is a very Catholic country.

Something that makes Daniel Suarez a fitting winner to the first race after Kyle Busch's passing: In Mexican culture, there is great reverence for the deceased. They are very family-oriented people, and Suarez gets to have his family with him each Coke 600 week. "Kyle, he wasn't my family. But he was someone that gave me a hand when I needed it most. And it wasn't just a hand. It was a hand of a legend, it was a hand of somebody with so much experience. So for that I will be forever grateful. Forever grateful. "Kyle was one of the few drivers out there that I never had an issue with. We always got along amazing. One time he got in trouble in Cancun, he called me, Samantha called me. I mean, some of you guys know what happened there. And then after the race in Mexico City, we partied together, he came to my party. "I just love the guy. He was an amazing person. And for me, one of my goals this weekend is for people to understand these stories of him. Because a lot of people didn't know who he was as a person. Many people, fans, they knew him as a racing driver. "But the person, the person that is behind the firesuit, behind that helmet - that's what counts the most. That family man. Every time that you talk to Kyle about Brexton, his eyes light up. He was a family man. And because of that, this race is so special. All the combination of these things. "And I want to make sure that the focus and the most important thing about this victory is not Spire Motorsports, it's not Daniel Suarez - it's Kyle Busch. Because he was a very, very important piece for me to be here and for Spire Motorsports to be where it is right now."

@STaranto92 Hey Steven, the right way we call the festivity here in Mexico is "Día de Muertos", just like that. Thank you for bringing that up at the post-race press conference.

The reason I asked Daniel about his culture is because in Mexico you have Dia de Los Muertos and other ways in which the dead are celebrated and still connected with. I didn't think that should go left unacknowledged and as far as I'm concerned it matters in telling the story.

Amigos mexicanos, es momento de apoyar a @Daniel_SuarezG en esta votación... ¡vámonos!

If you’re a NASCAR under the age of 47, you’ll be watching your first ever Cup race today without a Busch or an Earnhardt in it. The 2026 Coca-Cola 600 will be the first NASCAR Cup Series race without an Earnhardt or Busch in the field since 1979.

The race is over. Daniel Suarez wins the Coca-Cola 600 and the celebration begins Suarez and team extremely emotional. Kyle Larson and Michael McDowell come to congratulate him

Y ganó... MUY MERECIDO @Daniel_SuarezG y en tributo al gran @KyleBusch imposible no conmoverse, no enmocionarse

Nunca le había visto vueltas al frente a Daniel Suárez tan sólidas como estas en la Coca Cola 600 desde que tomó la delantera. La gran diferencia la hace su carro, su equipo y la confianza que ahora sí se ve que han depositado en él... y puede ganar, OJO. @Daniel_SuarezG

Before the Indy 500, @JimmieJohnson, @DanicaPatrick, and @TonyStewart remember Kyle Busch.
