I think it will be a lot of fun to watch the NASCAR cars on the Mexico circuit.

Now that the schedule is out I'm pretty surprised by the short turnaround between Michigan and Mexico. That seems like a logistically nightmare although maybe they have multiple transportation teams so that it is easier to get the trucks and vehicles down to Mexico?

Homestead not as the final race is a travesty. Sonoma in the middle of July is questionable. It'll be probably 100 degrees fahrenheit or more .

Cool that their going back to Rockingam in the Xfinity/Truck series. Lime Rock tried to get a Truck race when the series began in the mid-90s. Almost 30 years later, they got one. That's cool.

Sounds like Homestead is probably final race in 2026 with renovations planned for after 2025 race so that's why the race is early in year. More time to complete renovations.

A lot of the pit equipment is transported en masse from track to track so that shouldn't be an issue. Being a road course the cars could be on the road ahead of michigan.
