Stock car races in theXfinity Series that was held at theAutódromo Hermanos Rodríguezroad course inMexico City, Mexico from 2005 to 2008, and in 2025.^[1][2]

In its original run as a standalone event, it was notable for being the first points-paying NASCAR national touring series race held outside the United States since 1958. It later became one of three road races on the second-tier circuit (joining races atWatkins Glen andMontreal).

In 2025 it became a support race for theNASCAR Cup Seriesrace at the same track.

Mexico nativeDaniel Suárez is the final winner of the event.

Much attention was directed towards this race, as it was the first NASCAR points-paying race outside theUnited States since 1958. The only recent international races for NASCAR had been those at theSuzuka Circuit andTwin Ring Motegi (1996–1998) inJapan, but the races were non-points-paying exhibition races. In 1952, NASCAR sanctioned points-paying races on the Canadian side ofNiagara Falls.^[3]

The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez track is a very popular track for open-wheel racing such asFormula One andChamp Car. However, some adjustments were necessary to adapt the course for stock cars. The most significant alteration involved the introduction of a chicane on the pit straight. Additionally, a link was incorporated to bypass Curva Héctor Rebaque, instead integrating a sweeping curve between the track's short circuit curve and Ese del Lago. This modification was prompted by the intensified braking demands of the heavier stock cars.

In theinaugural event, ticket sales were good, and fans packed the track after the announcement that several local drivers would drive NASCAR entries normally driven by other drivers. Among them were open-wheel starAdrián Fernández,Jorge Goeters,Mara Reyes (afemale driver),Carlos Contreras, andMichel Jourdain Jr. who had just moved to NASCAR from Champ Car. The race also marked the first time thatNASCAR had run a Busch Series race on a road course since 2001. In 2006,Denny Hamlin took his first Busch Series win with an impressive performance at the track. Road-course ringerBoris Said made another fine visit to take second place after providing Hamlin with his stiffest challenge. In 2007,Juan Pablo Montoya took his first Busch Series win.

In the 2008 race, the race was renamed theCorona Mexico 200.Kyle Busch passedScott Pruett with 7 laps to go to win the race.

In the return race in 2025, known as theChilango 150 Mexico nativeDaniel Suárez would survive a huge incident and would hold offTaylor Gray to earn the win.

On July 30, 2025,The Athletic reported that NASCAR would not return to Mexico City in 2026, citing the scheduling challenge the June date presented due to Mexico City serving as a host city for the2026 FIFA World Cup.^[4] The Athletic also reported that NASCAR attempted to find a different date in the 2026 schedule, but eventually decided to focus on finding the event a date on the 2027 schedule.
