With NASCAR expanding internationally next season by including Mexico City on the schedule, Suarez, a native of Mexico itself, is currently relishing his newlywed life in Japan. He recently shared a selfie with his wife against the backdrop of Super Nintendo World, a theme park inspired by Nintendo’s iconic Super Mario World, which opened in Japan in 2021.
Initially, only local Japanese visitors could enjoy the attractions during the international travel restrictions due to COVID-19. Now, with those restrictions lifted, Suarez is making the most of the open access, exploring the theme park delights with his wife. He shared on social media, “This is what I’m talking about!! “

Details of Suarez’s Wedding
Suarez and Piquet, who first crossed paths in 2012, decided to make it official by getting engaged in November 2022. The couple exchanged vows in a romantic ceremony held in Piquet’s native city of Brasilia on July 30, amid the NASCAR Summer Olympics break. The festivities included a cocktail party hosted by Piquet’s father, Nelson Piquet, a three time Formula 1 champion.
The timing of the Olympic break was opportune, providing the couple and their American guests ample time to travel to and from Brazil. It was especially convenient as Suarez was scheduled to compete in the NASCAR Brasil Series in São Paulo from August 3 to 4. The ceremony itself was a family affair, officiated by Piquet’s cousin, Rodrigo.
Post-wedding, the couple returned to the U.S. and Suarez participated in the next NASCAR Cup race in Richmond shortly thereafter, where he achieved a P10-place finish.
