Former NASCAR star turned analyst Carl Edwards isn’t just hyping up the recent Mexico City Cup Series race as another event—he sees it as a cultural milestone. Edwards argues the race transcended the track, serving as a bridge between American motorsports and Latin American fans, and spotlighting NASCAR’s global ambitions. The electric atmosphere and packed grandstands (even glimpsed in the excerpt’s image) seem to back his take.
Editor’s Note: NASCAR’s push into international markets isn’t just about adding races—it’s about growing the sport’s soul. Edwards’ perspective hints at why this matters: if NASCAR can resonate beyond its traditional Southern U.S. roots, it could secure a new generation of fans and redefine its identity. For Mexico City, it’s also a win—a chance to cement itself as a hub for major sporting events.
