Over two decades ago, in 2004, the NASCAR Mexico Series was birthed, and in just three years since its commencement, it became the first series to be authorized by NASCAR on an international level. However, as the 2015 season concluded, the series witnessed suspension as the organizers supposedly saw hosting the Formula 1 Grand Prix as more lucrative. Nevertheless, the series returned full-time from 2017 onwards.

But that’s not all, as, once again, the NASCAR Mexico Series has clinched an unprecedented feat and earned a title sponsor from a renowned Mexican business ahead of the Busch Light Clash at the L. A. Coliseum in February 2024. The NASCAR Mexico Series race will precede the season-opening exhibition featuring NASCAR Cup Series stars, the third-annual Busch Light Clash.

NASCAR Mexico Series’ historic feat on Californian soil

The NASCAR Mexico Series will host their exhibition race with King Taco as their title sponsor at the LA Memorial Coliseum, and the event will be known as King Taco La Batalla en El Coliseo, which translates to King Taco The Battle at the Coliseum. It will be the first time that a Mexico Series race will hold its operations on the Californian tracks. NASCAR reporter Bob Pockrass took to ‘X’ to share details about the same.

According to Speedway Digest, NASCAR senior vice president of racing development and strategy, Ben Kennedy expressed his excitement about the new title sponsor and what it could bring to the sport and said, “King Taco is the ultimate representative of the rich, Mexican heritage found throughout Southern California.”

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with such a local restaurant chain to help showcase the electrifying racing of the NASCAR Mexico Series at the Coliseum,” the vice president added.
