Another ‘Big One’ took place at the 2025 AmBetter Health 400. With the competition getting more and more fierce at Atlanta Motor Speedway, a multi-car wreck seemed inevitable as the race inches closer toward the end. That’s exactly what happened on Lap 184 when Daniel Suárez lost control of his No. 99 Chevy after Ty Gibbs made minor contact with the left rear of the Mexican’s car. What followed was complete chaos as the incident involved seven drivers.
Daniel Suárez was forced to lift coming off of Turn 4, which resulted in the Mexican making slight contact with Ty Gibbs’ No. 54 Toyota. As a result, the Trackhouse Racing car hit the outside wall before sliding across the racetrack, into the incoming traffic. Apart from the two drivers, the multi-car wreck included the likes of Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Noah Gragson, Cody Ware, Cole Custer, and J. J. Yeley, which brought about the seventh caution of the race.

The incident forced Suárez to retire early, and the Mexican racer was heard saying on the team radio, “Sorry, guys. I was just waiting to slide up there” according to The Athletic’s Jeff Gluck. In the post-race interview, the Trackhouse Racing star admitted to his mistake by saying, “I think that’s on me and my spotter, we have to do a better job in those situations. Overall, we just put ourselves in bad situations throughout the race. The car wasn’t handling the way I was hoping. We’ll have to see what we can do better next time.”
