Suarez is one of the only full-time competitors hailing from outside of the United States in NASCAR. He started his racing full-time in the US in 2010, and till now he has plenty of accolades in his name, including the recent Cup Series victory at Atlanta Motor Speedway. While that was a quite an achievement, currently what has occupied Suarez’s mind is the recent ‘exam’ he passed!

This was the first time I had to study for an exam for a long time.”
