NASCAR is finalizing a deal to stage a Cup Series race in Mexico City in 2025, according to sources briefed on the decision but not authorized to speak publicly, bringing its premier circuit outside the U.S. for the first time in 67 years.

According to those sources, the deal could be announced as soon as Tuesday in Mexico City at a press conference expected to include NASCAR executive vice president Ben Kennedy and Mexican driver Daniel Suárez.

The race will be held at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez road course in Mexico City, a world-class circuit that also hosts Formula One annually. The race is slated for June 15. Additionally, there will be an Xfinity Series race on June 14.

A race in Mexico City would give NASCAR its first international points-paying Cup race since 1958, when its premier series raced at the Canadian Exhibition Stadium in Toronto, Ontario.

“It’s not official until it’s official,” Suárez, a native of Monterrey, Mexico, said on Aug. 10. “Honestly, it would be like a dream to me.

I’ve been in the Cup Series already for several years and a race in my native country, it would be like a dream. Since I moved out of my country in 2011, it’s been a dream to come back as a Cup Series driver.

“And if that’s real, it would be amazing and winning that race for me, it would be as big as winning a championship.”
