In 2004, he entered aNASCAR West Series event atIrwindale Event Center but failed to qualify. In his return to the West Series in 2005, now atAuto Club Speedway, Goeters made the race and finished tenth.

2005 was a very eventful year for Goeters, as he won the championship in theDesafío Corona series, and made hisNASCAR andGrand-Am debut, as well as his lone start in theChamp Car World Series.

Goeters won a very popular pole position in hisNASCAR Busch Series debut during the2005 Telcel Motorola 200 atAutódromo Hermanos Rodríguez inMexico City, driving the No. 66 Canel's/ScotiabankFord Taurus forBrewco Motorsports.

In 2005, he also competed in theRolex Sports Car Series event at Watkins Glen.

After his success in the 2005 season, Goeters looked to continue his career in the United States, and in 2006 the announcement was made that he would drive for a new team in the Busch Series,Latin American Racing; however, the team never became a reality. Still, Goeters took part in a handful of races in the Busch Series. He returned to run the Mexico City race with Brewco, finishing fourteenth, and then joinedJay Robinson Racing to drive the No. 49Ford. He finished 41st at Bristol and 24th at Nashville, but failed to qualify at Las Vegas, Atlanta, Texas, Phoenix and Richmond in the team's underpowered car. Goeters left the team, and then made another start in the season finale at Homestead, driving the No. 63 car forSpraker Racing Enterprises, but retired with mechanical problems.

In 2007, Goeters competed in theNASCAR Busch Series as aroad course ringer. He ran at Mexico City, Watkins Glen, and Montreal, with strong qualifying performances in the three races. However, his only good finish came at home as he finished seventh at Mexico City.

As the race was over the time limit, the standings of the previous lap were taken into account and Pardo was posthumously declared winner.^[1]
