Joe Gibbs Racing announced Tuesday morning that*Su?rez will make his NASCAR Nationwide Series debut in Friday night's ToyotaCare 250 (7 p.m. ET, ESPNews) at Richmond International Raceway. The 22-year-old native of Monterrey, Mexico, will wheel the team's No. 20 Toyota with sponsorship from Silent Circle and Telcel in his first NASCAR national series start. "It's an awesome opportunity," said Su?rez, who has four wins already in NASCAR regional and touring series competition this season. Friday night's venture into the Nationwide circuit will create a logistical challenge for Su?rez, who also competes full-time in both the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and the NASCAR Mexico Toyota Series.
