In <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/tag\/motorsports\">NASCAR<\/a>, we frequently see team owners taking part in the celebrations moments after the checkered flag comes down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pitbull has been missing out on the fun this year at Trackhouse Racing, where <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/ross-chastain-admits-talks-denny-hamlin-chase-elliott\/\">Ross Chastain<\/a> has triumphed twice, and then <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/daniel-suarez-doesnt-yet-have-contract-trackhouse-racing-2023-isnt-sweating-it\/\">Daniel Suarez<\/a> won at Sonoma heading into the Cup Series\u2019 scheduled week off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Tuesday, the team tweeted footage from its celebration of Suarez's win, with Pitbull pitching a taco pi\u00f1ata straight to Suarez. The results were outstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-busy-pitbull-missed-the-celebrations\"><strong>A<\/strong> busy <strong>Pitbull missed the celebrations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1124\" src=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Daniel-Suarez.jpg?w=925&#038;strip=all&#038;quality=89\" alt=\"NASCAR driver Daniel Suarez speaks to the media during a press conference on June 9, 2022, in San Francisco, California. |  Thearon W.

Henderson\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Year 2 of Trackhouse Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series has been a major success by any measure. Ross Chastain scored victories at Circuit of the Americas in March and Talladega in April. Last week was Suarez\u2019s turn as he won on the Sonoma road course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drivers got creative in their celebrations. Chastain smashed watermelons on the track after each of his wins, and Suarez followed suit by breaking open a taco-style pi\u00f1ata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the aftermath of each, <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/justin-marks-throws-shade-kyle-busch\/\">Justin Marks<\/a> offered the winning owner\u2019s comments to the media after partaking in the celebrations. That\u2019s because acclaimed rapper Pitbull (real name: Armando Perez), Marks\u2019 partner at Trackhouse, was fulfilling commitments related to his career and other business interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;When Armando said, &#8216;I'm going to be at every race', that was an expression of passion, not scheduling, right?&#8221; Marks said at Talladega, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nascar\/news\/nascar-2022-what-weve-learned-this-season-and-what-to-expect-the-rest-of-the-way\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CBS Sports<\/a>. &#8220;Look, I mean, it's <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/nascar-star-daniel-suarezs-racing-future-is-now-in-the-hands-of-pitbull\/\">Pitbull<\/a>, right? He's touring, recording songs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, Pitbull finally caught up with his team at their shop and made up for lost time with Suarez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pitbull serves up a <\/strong><strong>pi\u00f1ata to Daniel Suarez<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Daniel_SuarezG?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Daniel_SuarezG<\/a> win celebration isn\u2019t complete without <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pitbull?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@pitbull<\/a> and a taco pi\u00f1ata \ud83c\udf2e \ud83e\udd11 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gCB0tIJN1g\">pic.twitter.com\/gCB0tIJN1g<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Trackhouse Racing (@TeamTrackhouse) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeamTrackhouse\/status\/1539408250000625666?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 22, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon winning at Sonoma, NASCAR Cup Series driver Daniel Suarez cracked open a small taco pi\u00f1ata by throwing it to the ground, which isn\u2019t the way we\u2019re used to seeing it done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometime since Suarez\u2019s victory, Trackhouse co-owner Pitbull stopped by the shop to do it slightly more conventionally. Pi\u00f1ata, meet bat. Pitbull served up the pi\u00f1ata, and Suarez took a mighty swing. The result was candy and money strewn all over the shop floor as the full team looked on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As they often say, a fun time was had by all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it\u2019s back to business this weekend as the Cup Series kicks off the second half of its season in Nashville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Like <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sports7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Sports7<\/em><\/a><em> on Facebook.
