Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez
Mexico City, Mexico, Mexico
Track History
Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez sits more than a mile above sea level in the heart of Mexico City, a 2.42-mile road course named for the racing brothers Ricardo and Pedro Rodríguez and steeped in decades of Formula 1 history. NASCAR first came to the circuit in 2005, when the Xfinity Series began a four-year run of visits through 2008; Martin Truex Jr. won that inaugural race for Dale Earnhardt Inc., and Kyle Busch closed out the era with a victory in 2008. The altitude is the track's defining technical challenge, thinning the air enough to sap horsepower and starve the cars of downforce, while the stadium section winding through the old baseball grounds creates an atmosphere unlike anywhere else NASCAR competes. The sport returned in 2025 with a historic doubleheader: Daniel Suárez, Mexico's own Cup Series race winner, charged from 39th to win the Xfinity race in front of his home crowd, and a day later Shane van Gisbergen led 60 of 100 laps from the pole to win the Viva México 250, the Cup Series' first points race in Mexico. Six NASCAR national series races have been run at the circuit between 2005 and 2025, and every one of them carried a sense of occasion.
