The inaugural NASCAR Cup race in Mexico City wasn’t just a show on track, but also fire on the radios. Strategy turned to survival, cool heads to boiling tempers, and somewhere in the middle of it all, a few drivers made memories they’ll never forget. Whether it was dodging a wreck, plotting revenge, or soaking in the win, the scanner told its own story — raw, intense, and unfiltered.

• “Yeah, it’s killed.” That’s not the kind of diagnosis you want early in a run.
• “Tell him I’ll see him in Pocono…” When the 77 takes you out again, diplomacy goes out the window.
• “We’re killed, friend.” “Well, that’s not ideal, but we’re not out of it, buddy.”

Mexico City brought its own brand of chaos — a crowd that roared, a strategy race that flipped on a dime, and scanner traffic that could make a short film. The 77 and the 47 may need a mediator soon, and Pocono could get spicy. Did your favorite driver survive the madness? Did your least favorite cause it? Drop your thoughts and tell us who won the radio war in Mexico.
