NASCAR is set to introduce Mexico to the 2025 Cup Series schedule, marking a significant move in the sport’s expansion efforts. The event is scheduled to take place in Mexico City on June 15, 2025, making it the first Cup Series points venue outside of the US since 1958. The return to the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez road course, which previously hosted Xfinity Series events from 2005 to 2008, adds an element of familiarity to the venture. This decision highlights NASCAR’s long-standing goal of taking its premier series global, demonstrating the organization’s commitment to innovation in venue selection. Ben Kennedy, NASCAR’s executive vice president and chief venue and racing innovation officer, elaborated on the rationale behind the international expansion during a press conference following the announcement.
