Richmond Raceway will host only one race weekend in 2025, making way for a landmark NASCAR Cup Series event in Mexico City at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
Richmond Raceway will host just one Cup Series race weekend instead of its usual two during the 2025 season after NASCAR confirmed the introduction of Mexico City.During the announcement, NASCAR executive Ben Kennedy revealed:'We're still committed to Richmond. It's an important track, an important market certainly, as we think about where our NASCAR fans are today.
This is a monumental moment for our sport in the sense that this is our first step of really taking the Cup Series internationally, and I think it could set us up for the future in potential new markets.'I think we've been honest about our interest in taking our Cup Series abroad, whether that's north of the border or south of the border, and then as we talk about some of our other races, there are opportunities for us to take the Cup Series even further than that.
