Telcel-Infinitum is set to partner with Daniel Suarez, the only Mexican-born driver at NASCAR’s top level, for the inaugural NASCAR Cup Series event at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in June.
The iconic brand will be prominently displayed on the No. 99 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet, driven by Suarez, at the Mexico City-based road course, an event which will mark the first points-paying race outside the United States since 1958.

“This, to me, is a dream come true,” said Suarez. “Being born and raised in Mexico is very special to me. I have dreamed about racing in my home country every day since I left Mexico to chase my NASCAR dream in 2011. This race will be the highlight of my racing career. It is a chance to compete in front of my home country fans and those who have supported me all these years.”
Suarez met with members of the media in Mexico City on Tuesday and unveiled the No. 99 Telcel-Infinitum that he will compete with on June 15.
“I hope this event creates a lot of NASCAR fans in Mexico. We want to make this event permanent on the NASCAR calendar for many years.”
The racetrack, which was the site of multiple NASCAR Xfinity Series events in the mid-to-late 2000s, is measured at 2.674 miles in length, with 17 corners and an elevation of 7.342 feet.
“Mexico has been loving motorsports for a very long time, and I feel like, slowly, that has also changed into NASCAR,” said Suárez. “NASCAR is a very important sport for Mexico, and it continues to grow with the NASCAR Mexico Series and now the Cup Series going there. It’s going to be a big deal. There are a lot of super excited people.”
The inaugural NASCAR Cup Series event at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez will take place on Sunday, June 15, in Mexico City, Mexico. Coverage of the event will be on Amazon’s Prime Video, MRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Channel 90).
