After months of preparation and anticipation, NASCAR is all packed up and on its way south of the border for the Cup Series’ inaugural visit to Mexico City.
Haulers hit the road from the Michigan International Speedway garage Sunday night at approximately 7:30 ET, loaded with what they’ll need for Sunday’s Viva Mexico 250 at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez (3 p.m. ET, Prime Video, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio), the series’ first international points race since 1952. But in reality, this journey started months ago.

In less than two weeks, the NASCAR Cup Series will race for points in an international land for the first time in nearly 67 years. The name of the track won’t end in Speedway, Raceway, Motor Speedway, International Speedway or be called Circuit of fill-in-the-blank. The metropolitan Mexico City road course is an autodrome — autódromo in the local language — and it forever pays tribute to two national motorsports heroes.
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (June 9, 2025) – When the NASCAR Cup Series arrives in Mexico City this weekend for Sunday’s inaugural Viva Mexico 250 at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, it will mark the first time in nearly 67 years that NASCAR’s elite division has competed outside the United States.
