NASCAR:

  • Mexico City Race: The NASCAR Cup Series is making a historic trip to Mexico City for the Viva Mexico 250. This is a massive trending topic, with discussions around predictions, betting odds (Shane van Gisbergen is a favorite), and the potential for a "dream homecoming" win for Daniel Suarez, who won the Xfinity race there.
  • Daniel Suarez's Xfinity Win: Daniel Suarez's dramatic Xfinity Series win in Mexico, coming from last place after a qualifying crash, is a major story, seen as a career-defining victory for him in front of his home crowd.
