Richard Childress Racing (Xfinity Series)

Hold that thought about proper development of Daniel Suarez’s talent. Richard Childress Racing are set to continue to field a full-time entry in the NASCAR Xfinity Series next year, even though two-time champion Tyler Reddick is set to replace Daniel Hemric at the Cup Series team next year and Hemric will not be demoted back to their Xfinity Series program with him instead being set to drive part-time for JR Motorsports in the Xfinity Series.

Catchfence reported along with the confirmation that Suarez would be replaced by Cole Custer at Stewart-Haas Racing next year that Suarez could be in line to replace Reddick at the Richard Childress Racing Xfinity Series team and do what Reddick did this season and drive in a few Cup Series races for the team as well.

There have been past rumors about Richard Childress Racing fielding three full-time entries in the Cup Series after shuttering their third team following the conclusion of the 2017 season, but naturally only if the funding is there, which it does not appear to be, at least not for now.

If Suarez doesn’t have the funding to land a full-time ride with the Cup Series team as their third driver, competing for them and further developing in the Xfinity Series would be a great option. He is a former Xfinity Series champion, and Richard Childress Racing have had a driver advance to the Championship 4 in each of the last three years, with Reddick winning this year’s championship.
