 The real thing: Daniel Suarez takes his No. 99 Trackhouse Chevy around Daytona International Speedway before the Daytona 500. (Photography by Jared C. Tilton, Getty Images, Jayski.com).     Notes: At the present moment, there are just a couple of 1/64 scale cars that remain in the production pipeline from the 2025 season that represent Daniel Suarez. This car will be one of the last ones made to commemorate the portion of Suarez's career at Trackhouse, and with Freeway Insurance being such a major supporter of the driver from Monterrey, it's a nice combination of driver and sponsor. The car itself is really nice looking, but it does suffer from the typical crooked posture that's typically found on Lionel's plastic 1/64 scale chassis. The car does have sharp green foil door numbers, which is a major highlight. Happily, with this copy, all of the major paint and printing details have been applied without issue. This is just my second Gold Line or ARC car from Lionel that represents Daniel, and it's my 15th car from the 2025 season. I picked up this copy of the Freeway Insurance Chevy from the Trackhouse merchandise display hauler at Martinsville Speedway during the fall race weekend. You can read more about that, here. I also decided to pick up a 1/24 scale copy of this car which Daniel signed for me as well, a great set. I'll be featuring the 1/24 on the blog at a later date.  Sources:
