Event Preview

History will be made on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule this weekend, as the first points-scoring race to be staged outside of the U.S. since 1958 will be held in Mexico City. The Viva Mexico 250 will be staged at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, which has held the Mexican Grand Prix on the Formula 1 schedule since 2015.

The race will cover just under 250 miles, with the field completing a total of 100 laps of the 2.417-mile track. It is also staged at a crucial period of the season, as there is just one race on the schedule before the in-season challenge.

William Byron retained his spot at the top of the Drivers’ Championship at last weekend’s FireKeepers Casino 400. However, he could only finish in 28th, despite picking up the Fastest Lap.

Kyle Larson remains hot on the heels of the leader, taking fifth last weekend to mark the second straight race in which he has finished in the top ten. However, it was a positive weekend for Denny Hamlin, who recorded his third win of the season to edge nearer to the summit.

Christopher Bell, Chase Elliott, and Tyler Reddick all achieved finishes in the top 16 places. Ross Chastain also enjoyed a credible result at the FireKeepers Casino 400 after taking sixth.

Viva Mexico 250 Picks

A thrilling first-ever race is set for the Cup Series this weekend, and unsurprisingly, the fact that few drivers have previous experience at the track means that it will be a dramatic renewal.

However, Denny Hamlin is one of few that have tackled the course previously. Therefore, he could hold excellent claims to a second straight victory on the schedule.
