In an effort to increase its international outreach, the Mexico Series would be providing NASCAR, the much much-needed impetus. Jimmy Morales, the president and general manager also expressed his jubilation on the announcement.

Furthermore, the news created a furor and a sense of exhilaration among NASCAR fans. They were more than surprised by the announcement of the unexpected news. They took to Reddit to express their excitement for the incorporation of the Mexico Series.

Many fans wrote, “I really hope this means the Mexico series will be televised, but for some reason, I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t.”

“So glad it’s not a points-paying race, getting Mexico series attention helps as well.”

“I like the idea of adding the Mexico Series.”

Others also commented, “Honestly waaaaay more pumped for the Mexico series race but just happy it ain’t a points race.”

“Awesome! I love this coliseum clash. Not to be taken too serious, no points, but lots of bumping, banging and chaos to start the season in a cool/untapped market with LA. Mexico series race should be cool! It’ll open a lot of eyes to the series. I’ve never even seen a Mexico series race but I’ll be watching this one for sure.”

With that being said it will be interesting to see, how the 2024 NASCAR schedule transpires and whether it will also include other new venues for the revival of the old tracks and make the sport more inclusive and diverse in nature.
