Overview

• Charter flight cancellations from Charlotte forced NASCAR to push all Xfinity Series practice and qualifying into Saturday and delay Cup practice until late Friday afternoon.
• Denny Hamlin will miss Sunday’s race after the birth of his third child, and Ryan Truex will make his first Cup Series start since 2014.
• The Viva Mexico250, NASCAR’s first points-paying Cup event outside the U.S. since 1958, goes green Sunday, June 15 at 3 p.m. ET on Prime Video.
• Teams must contend with the thin air at 7,349 feet on the 2.42-mile, 15-turn Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, which reduces engine cooling and downforce.
• Forecasts predict scattered thunderstorms and a 70% chance of rain on Saturday and Sunday, raising the possibility of wet-track conditions.
