How Did New England Drivers Do South Of The Border… Other Notes

How Did New England Drivers Do South Of The Border… Other Notes

Shane Van Gisbergen won the first Cup race at Mexico City.  Ryan Preece of Berlin, CT came in 15th while Joey Logano of Middletown, CT finished in 21st position.

Daniel Suarez won the Mexico City Xfinity race before a cheering crowd.  Kris Wright came in 17th while Anthony Alfredo of Ridgefield, CT was 21st.  Kris Wright drives the Chris and Mary Our entry.  The father and daughter team owners reside on Cape Cod and receive their mail in Chatham, MA.

Note: It was nice to be able to watch the F1 race in Montreal and the Indy Car race in E. St. Louis and the Le Mans Endurance race in France on TV over the weekend.  Again, we have to let NASCAR know that it was not at all pleasant to miss the Amazon-Prime Mexico race because we could not find a way to receive the broadcast.   Nor did I and the rest of the fans, along with some of the media,  feel very pressured by the sanction to spend the extra money, beyond the cable TV charges, when in previous years,  we did not have to make this payment.
