Following Denny Hamlin's third win of the season at Michigan International Speedway, the NASCAR Cup Series heads south of the border to Mexico City's Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on Sunday for the running of the Viva Mexico 250.

Unsurprisingly, fans and industry members responded to Boyd’s remarks, including Jim Sauter Jr., son of the former Cup Series driver. “I was there in 2007,” Sauter recalled. “We weren’t allowed to leave the ‘safe space of our hotel.’ It’s garbage and a garbage event. USA all the way.”

Average Speed of Race Winner: 74.818 mph. Time of Race: 3 hours, 14 minutes, 4 seconds. Margin of Victory: 16.567 seconds. Caution Flags: 6 for 16 laps. Lead Changes: 14 among 8 drivers.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Mexico City will be broadcast nationally on the CW Network. Streaming options for the race include FUBO in limited markets nationwide, which offers a free trial to potential subscribers.

Bubba Wallace is making history on Sunday along with the 36 other NASCAR Cup Series drivers competing in Mexico City, as the series races internationally in a points-paying event for the first time since 1958.

With RAM Trucks making it to NASCAR's Truck Series, an insider has questioned when it would step up to the Cup Series.

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Vowing to “shake up the sport,” Ram will return to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2026 and seek to pave the way for another brand within the Stellantis company to field cars in the Cup Series someday.
