Shane Van Gisbergen won NASCAR's first-ever Cup Series points-paying race outside the U.S., held in Mexico City. This victory earned him an automatic berth into the playoffs. Starting the race 33rd in standings, Van Gisbergen led 60 of 100 laps, utilizing his skill on wet tracks after an early rain shower. His teammate, Daniel Suarez, finished 19th despite hopes for a hometown win.
