On June 15, the NASCAR will make history. For the first time in the modern era of the Cup Series, a points race will take place outside the borders of the United States as they head to Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City.
Recently, NASCAR commissioner Steve Phelps came to Brazil during the NASCAR Brazil round at Interlagos, in his first ‘international’ engagement after the promotion.

When asked about Brazil’s chances, Phelps didn’t shy away from answering: “I don’t know when we’ll get to Brazil,” he admitted. “I’d like to see it happen. Obviously, we need all parties to come together and understand how important that would be for NASCAR in general and for the category. But I personally would be very excited about it.”
There were previously talks to get ‘The Clash’ to Brazil, but those talks never advanced and the race will remain at Bowman Gray Stadium for 2026. Phelps is also looking forward to the Mexican event that takes place later this month, which will be the first time the Cup Series has ever raced in Mexico.
