Although NASCAR is “very hopeful” about going back to Mexico in 2026, they will not commit to it….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Back in March, journalist Jordan\u202fBianchi shared that NASCAR was \u201cvery adamant\u201d about getting an international date on the schedule, including discussions with both Mexico City and Montreal. Teams and organizers were reportedly optimistic, but until the date was officially secured, NASCAR delayed releasing the full schedule .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in early March 2025, NASCAR sources told Bob\u202fPockrass that despite swirling rumors, the Mexico City Cup race scheduled for June was \u201cgood to go,\u201d and that Daytona Road Course was simply held as a contingency plan .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, those deliberations in March mainly centered on the 2025 event. The talks around 2026 are still preliminary. Country-wide promoters (like Mexico City GP and OCESA) have expressed interest in hosting IndyCar in 2026, but there’s been no formal announcement from NASCAR about a Mexico Cup race that year .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2025 Mexico Cup race Confirmed\u2014happened in June<\/p>\n

2026 Mexico Cup race Under active discussion; NASCAR hopeful but not confirmed<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So yes, NASCAR remains optimistic\u2014and they\u2019re making plans\u2014but until contracts are formally signed and dates finalized, they can’t commit to a 2026 return just yet.<\/p>\n\n
