Connor Zilisch is on the pole for the NASCAR Xfinity Series The Chilango 150 race on June 14 at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City. Zilisch beat Ty Gibbs by 0.103 seconds in the one-round qualifying session on Saturday.

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. Cup Series haulers have been in Mexico City since Tuesday afternoon, while Xfinity Series teams arrived on Monday.
