2025 Viva Mexico 250 Race Picks

In NASCAR’s pioneer days, the Grand National Series experimented with expanding the series outside of the United States with races in Ontario, Canada in 1952 and again in 1958. Despite multiple attempts in the late 1990s to take NASCAR’s top series abroad in exhibition style events, the Cup Series has yet to host another official points-paying race on foreign soil. However, all of those facts will change on Sunday when the Cup Series goes racing south of the border in Mexico City for the running of the Viva Mexico 250 at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez marking just the 3rd time in NASCAR’s history that their premier division of racing will compete outside of the United States in an official points-paying event.
