NASCAR continues to proceed with plans for a historic doubleheader weekend in Mexico City this summer, featuring both NASCAR Xfinity Series and Cup Series races on June 13-15 at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez road course.

A recent media event at the track featured prominent drivers Christopher Bell, Ryan Blaney, Daniel Suarez, and Chase Elliott, coinciding with the start of ticket sales for the race weekend.

While rumors have circulated suggesting the event might be canceled in favor of the Daytona road course, NASCAR maintains its commitment to the Mexico City races. However, the organization continues to monitor U.S.-Mexico relations, particularly given current political tensions and potential tariff implementations between the two countries.

Key points about the Mexico race:

• First Cup Series points race held internationally in over 60 years
• Features both Xfinity and Cup Series races
• Scheduled for June 13-15, 2024
• Location: Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez road course
• Contingency plans are in place, as with all NASCAR races

The event faces potential challenges due to ongoing political discussions, including President Trump's proposed 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada, and Mexico's President Claudia Sheinhaum's warning of retaliatory measures. Despite these factors, NASCAR remains committed to its international racing plans while maintaining standard contingency options.
