The NASCAR Cup and Xfinity series will hold consecutive qualifying sessions Saturday at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, which then will play host to back-to-back races on its 15-turn, 2.42-mile layout. The NASCAR Mexico Series will hold a 40-lap race (with a 70-minute time limit), followed by a 65-lap race for the Xfinity Series.

Daniel Suárez got his storybook ending of NASCAR's return to Mexico, winning an Xfinity Series race in a backup car in front of his fellow countrymen.

Travel issues for teams leaving the Charlotte area have forced NASCAR officials to alter the on-track weekend schedule in Mexico City.

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).
