NASCAR driver Suarez will compete in the Brasil Series Special Edition tournament during the Cup Series’ Olympic break

The 32-year-old driver from Monterrey (Mexico) will celebrate his wedding to Julia Piquet in Brazil and take part in a race in São Paulo before returning to the USA, the press release added.

The 2016 Xfinity Series champion competed in a similar international event earlier this year, the NASCAR Mexico Series race at the LA Coliseum, where he earned his first win since 2014. He was excited for the chance to compete in and support the series during the Cup break, saying he hopes to have fun while attracting attention outside of Brazil.

“This is not only an opportunity to try something new,” Suarez added. “Since my fiancée’s family has roots in Brazil, it also gives me the chance to race in a place she calls home.”

The format of the special edition differs from the main championship in that it features qualifying and a race on Saturday, followed by two races on Sunday. Qualifying determines the starting order for the first two races, with the average results of these races determining the starting order for the final race.

Suarez holds dual citizenship after taking an oath to become a U.S. citizen last month.
