The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series hits Mexico City today, Sunday, June 15, for the Viva Mexico 250.
Sunday's race at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez marks the first time that the Cup Series has raced internationally in a points-paying event in the division's modern era, and the first time that a NASCAR national series has raced in Mexico City since the Xfinity Series (then known as the Busch Series) in 2008.

Last time out at Michigan, it was Denny Hamlin who came out on top in the No. 11 Toyota, securing the 57th win of his Cup Series career to make him Joe Gibbs Racing's most-winningest driver of all time.
Hamlin, however, won't be in action on Sunday, instead replaced by Ryan Truex after choosing to remain at home following the birth of his baby son .
The last time that NASCAR hit a road course this season was at Circuit of the Americas back in March , with Christopher Bell winning that day ahead of the likes of William Byron and Tyler Reddick .
All three of those drivers suffered a rough qualifying session on Saturday , however, meaning they face a huge battle to be in contention on this occasion.
With that said, let's get into all of the important details you need to know ahead of today's action and how you can watch it all unfold live.
