NASCAR "closer than it’s ever been" to international Cup race
NASCAR is expanding internationally, with series now held in Canada, Europe, Mexico, and most recently Brazil, attracting a growing number of international drivers. NASCAR has expressed its intention to hold a points-paying race outside the United States, stating that it’s just a matter of time before it happens. Although NASCAR has previously held races outside the US, the premier Cup series has not held a points-paying race abroad in the modern era. NASCAR’s recent international experiences, such as the Garage 56 entry in the Le Mans 24 Hours and the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series events, have been well-received. NASCAR is actively engaged with multiple markets and is optimistic about the future expansion. There are various potential locations for an international Cup race, and NASCAR’s flexibility in scheduling presents numerous possibilities.
