Xfinity Series, Mexico City on CW
Digest more
The road course in Mexico City has been repaved and reconfigured since the Xfinity Series’ last visit with drivers tackling a 15-turn, 2.42-mile layout. There are 39 drivers on the entry list, and they all will race because of an international provisional that added a spot for a 39th qualifier (who will be ineligible for prize money or points).

This weekend, NASCAR makes history as the NASCAR Cup Series will race in Mexico for the very first time. As noted above, there is a lot of logistical work that has gone into making this happen.

The spotlight event, the Viva Mexico 250, takes place on Sunday, June 15, with the green flag at 3:00 p.m. ET. Fans in the United States can stream the race live on Prime Video, which is the exclusive broadcaster for this Cup Series debut in Mexico. Prime Video will also air both Cup Series practice sessions on Friday and qualifying on Saturday.
