NASCAR Hosts Historic Mexico City Race Weekend

The NASCAR Cup Series will hold the Viva México 250, its first international points-paying race since 1958 and inaugural event in Mexico, at Mexico City's Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez on June 15, 2025. The 100-lap race on the 2.429-mile road course is the 16th event of the season, featuring 37 drivers, with Chase Elliott joining Shane van Gisbergen, Christopher Bell, and local favorite Daniel Suarez as top contenders. The weekend also includes the return of the NASCAR Xfinity Series to Mexico with The Chilango 150 on Saturday. Significant logistical planning was required for the direct haul from Michigan to Mexico. The race will be broadcast live on Prime Video and covered by MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, with mostly cloudy and mild weather expected. This doubleheader weekend highlights NASCAR's expanding international ambitions and adds unpredictability to the championship.
