Mexico City presents a significant opportunity for drivers seeking their first 2025 win, including home favorite Daniel Suarez, Shane van Gisbergen, and A.J. Allmendinger who are all strong contenders for victory. Despite only three Cup drivers having prior experience at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez from the Xfinity Series visits, Allmendinger raced there during his Champ Car days, finishing third in 2004 and second in 2005.
Allmendinger, reflecting on his two-decade gap from racing at Mexico City, expressed excitement to return and emphasized his love for the circuit and anticipation for the Cup race’s atmosphere. With the potential to lock in a playoff spot with a win, Allmendinger acknowledges the competitive field on road courses but remains optimistic about his points position and chances for success.
While Allmendinger has a track record of victory on road courses, he aims to conquer ovals as well, highlighting Kaulig Racing’s progress as a young Cup team and his past success on oval tracks in the Xfinity Series. The team’s efforts to secure an oval win in 2025 reflect their commitment to diverse racing challenges and aspirations for further achievements in different racing disciplines.
