They celebrated an Xfinity Series championship together in 2016, and their partnership has grown to be as strong as ever through what is now Su\u00e1rez\u2019s fourth season in the top-tier NASCAR Cup Series.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">This weekend, Su\u00e1rez will help introduce a brand new flavor combination when he gets behind the wheel of his No. 96 Cherry Vanilla Coke Toyota for Gaunt Brothers Racing (GBR) during the Folds of Honor QuickTrip 500 Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, just down the road from Coca-Cola headquarters.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Cherry Vanilla Coke may be the newest addition to the company\u2019s product lineup, but research shows it\u2019s a pair of flavors its fans have combined on their own using the already existing Cherry Coke and Vanilla Coke products \u2013 the equivalent of more than 105 million cans of \u201cCherry Vanilla Coke\u201d since 2017. That\u2019s nearly a can a minute over a three-year span, and the research shows the combination has proven to be most popular on Christmas Day and the month of April.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">\u201cCoca-Cola has supported me since 2015 and it\u2019s definitely an honor to be representing such an iconic brand that\u2019s so popular all over the world. I grew up enjoying Coca-Cola in Mexico and I never dreamed I\u2019d be driving a racecar for them in the U.S. It\u2019s very exciting to have the unique Cherry Vanilla Coke paint scheme on my racecar and on my firesuit this weekend. We\u2019ll be doing a lot of really cool things with the Coca-Cola folks this week, leading up to the race. We\u2019ll also have an on-board camera on our racecar all weekend. So I hope we can give them our best result of the season on Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Su\u00e1rez and the iconic Coca-Cola brand have enjoyed a fun and flavorful relationship dating back to the Mexican driver\u2019s first full season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2015.
