Tootsie’s World-Famous Orchid Lounge, the legendary and historic honky-tonk in the heart of Nashville’s Lower Broadway entertainment district, will serve as primary sponsor on Trackhouse Racing’s No. 99 Chevrolet Camaro for Sunday’s race as well as multiple races in the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season. It is a race of firsts for NASCAR as Daniel Suárez who will drive Trackhouse Racing’s Next Gen Chevrolet for the first time in a points race.

Trackhouse owner Justin Marks’ acquisition of Chip Ganassi Racing’s NASCAR assets in the off-season added Ross Chastain to the driver lineup giving Suárez his first teammate since 2019. Suárez will join single-car qualifying Wednesday night, race in one of the Daytona Duels on Thursday night, and in the Daytona 500 on Sunday. Fox and FS1 will broadcast all of the action (https://2911.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bf141dbbd818f4f933816b13a&id=a8d52314a3&e=5b2d05549c) .
