NASCAR finally went international again, and Mexico delivered a weekend we won’t soon forget. Daniel Suárez stood tall as the hometown hero, but this wasn’t just a sentimental win. The fans’ energy, emotion, and pure love made this a historic turning point. Still, not everything went perfectly, and what worked (and didn’t) may decide whether this experiment becomes a permanent fixture.
- Did Suárez’s emotional win justify a Cup regular racing in Xfinity?
- Why did the crowd treat Todd Gilliland like a rock star?
- What made Shane van Gisbergen’s dominant win both impressive and controversial?
- And is NASCAR’s playoff system truly broken after this race?
There were ticket problems, playoff complaints, and a strategy-ruining caution. But there were also chills-inducing crowd reactions, surprising underdog runs, and a reminder that outside the U.S., NASCAR still matters. If anything, this event felt more alive than some American dates. Should NASCAR return to Mexico in 2026? Do international races offer something we’ve lost stateside? Watch the full breakdown and then tell us, was this a win, a miss, or something in between?
