Mexico City – Equally more expectations from fans and teams, the NASCAR Cup series has come to Mexico City for the international race for the first issue of the series in seven decades.
Sunday race has been named Viva Mexico 250 at Autodromeo Harmanos Rodriguez.
The industry is ready for this opening journey for this inauguration for a long time, which is a famous 2.42-mile, 15-turn road course in the middle of Mexico City. And perhaps no one is more keen to visit NASCAR’s Mexican than Daniel Suarez of Trackhouse Racing, who have made many trips to their home country in support of the event.
“I am super excited, even though what happens on Sunday,” Monterey, Mexico-Peshi said, who has competed-and won three times-while racing in the NASCAR Mexico series on the oval-configuration of the track, which will also compete at the end of this week.
“I am super excited for this incident. I am super excited to live in this moment because the first time is going to happen once. I am actually trying to be as current as possible; enjoy the moment and try to execute the best possible weekends that we can do.
Suarez, who won his first NASCAR Cup series on a road course in Sonoma, California in 2022, has been an important supporter of the initiative. For months, the popular driver has acted in NASCAR advertisements promoting Mexico race – the script tried to portray him that he was trying to teach fellow racers to speak in Spanish.
“First, I thought the man, I don’t know that it is going to work, like, I don’t think it is going to be fun,” Suarez said smiling. “And honestly, it turned out to be amazing. I give a lot of credit to NASCAR to try all these different things.
“I think people are liking it. The driver is hugging it. And, of course, I am having fun with it. I am going to teach the language, so for the first time, I think I am in my area, so it’s good.”
Suarez is certainly one of the group of drivers, which is expected to give a new site different results. Number 99 is ranked 28th in the Championship of the trackhouse racing Chevrolet, with a 16-driver playoff field set with 11 regular season races.
Others are traditionally considered a road course ACES, similarly it sees it as a big opportunity to punch the playoff tickets.
Hendric motorcysters drivers have Elliout and Alex Bommon, AJ Olomender of Kaulig Racing, Michael McDowell of Spire Motorsports and Shane Wan Gisbergen, partner of the trackhouse team of Suarez, have some of the most talented road races in sports and all are still trying to win in this season. Many people sit well under the 16th -place playoff cut line.
Six of the 14 regular-season races in the next gene era have been won by 16th in standing at the time of their victory or by worse drivers.
“Everyone hopes us that we will perform on the road course,” said New Zealand’s van Gisbergen, who started the final NASCAR in the Chicago Street Race two years ago.
“It’s not that we are moving out for (road courses), but the oval has been a big learning process for the last few months. It would be good to ensure that I use a little break and race on the types of courses that I mean to turn right.”
Handric motorcyts have won eight separate road courses – most in NASCAR history. And four of the remaining 11 races will be on road courses.
William Bayran of Hendric continues to lead the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Standing – up to 41 points on team partner Kail Larsen – and both are considered a favorite later this week. Handric Driver – Bayran (two), Larsen (two) and Boman (one) – have won five of the last eight road courses races.
If Elliot wins later this week, he wins the NASCAR Hall of Famer Tony Stewart for the second most road course.
Last week’s race winner, Denny Hamlin claimed to win his first career Xfinity series in the 2006 Mexico Road course. Hamlin, Kyle Bush of Richard Children Racing and Rush Fenway is the only driver of Brad Keselowski Racing, who is going to run in the circuit – competing in the exfinity series. Bush won the 2008 Xfinity series race.
RFK’s Chris Buescher, who ended the runner-up for Hamlin in Michigan last week, claims the best road course average finish (8.7) in the next gene cars.
-Nascar Xfinity Series Set for Mexico Return
The NASCAR XFINITY series marks its return to Mexico with The Chillango 150 on Saturday afternoon.
The series has held four previous races at the famous Autodrome Harmanos Rodricase – which Bush won.
This is the second one of the seven road courses on the schedule. The series Ruki, the Connor Zilisk of Junior Motisports won the circuit of the US from the position of the pole.
Justin Olgier of Junior Motisports did the third win series of the season in Nashville, two weeks ago in the ‘most recent race. The AllGaier Reigning Series is the champion.
It marks the fifth time in the last eight years. The veteran has won at least three wins in a season. The partner takes advantage of 92 points at the championship standing on Austin Hill of Richard Children Racing, Richard Children Racing.
The native of Illinois has responded to the title of his first career with another top-shelf season in No. 7 JRM Chevrolet. He leads all drivers in laps LED (638) and top -10 finish (10). He has only 300 to eight top -10 finish in his career -not an achievement before completion in the series.
The 12 regular-season races can still be claimed with the remaining and six playoff spots, the Mexico City certainly presents all the constructions of an ultra-practitioner weekend.
Sam Mayor and Tye Gibbs have the highest number of road courses (four) at the end of this week. Interestingly, nine out of the last 11 road courses of the series has been won by only three drivers (Mayor, Van Gisbergen and Zilisk). And the mayor, who is in third place in the standing, is still looking for his first win of the year.
Gibbs (number 19 Toyota) are regularly of the three NASCAR Cup series – besides Suarez (No. 9 Chevi) and Christopher Bell (No. 24 Toyota) – Racing Saturday. NASCAR Craftsman truck series Rukie, Andres Pereze de Lara will start its Xfinity series.
The qualifying is slapped for Saturday morning and has historically proved to be very important on road courses, with 10 winning Polititors from 10 of the last 18 road courses.
