Overview

  • Teams have swapped Michigan backup cars for Mexico-ready machines as haulers reached Laredo for X-ray clearance ahead of a June 14-15 arrival.
  • NASCAR tapped Rock-It Cargo—veterans of the Taylor Swift tour—and assembled specialists in security, transportation and medical support under Racing Operations vice president Tom Bryant to oversee the move.
  • Organizers reversed an initial seal-in-Michigan plan in favor of X-ray inspections after consultations with U.S. and Mexican border authorities to expedite customs processing.
  • The event will debut a podium ceremony mirroring Formula 1 and IndyCar by honoring the top three drivers in both Cup and Xfinity races.
  • Former Xfinity champion Daniel Suárez leads local promotion in hopes of capitalizing on Mexico City's motorsport fervor and validating NASCAR’s international growth strategy.
