IndyCar Explores Potential Expansion to Mexico in 2026, According to Recent Insights
Heck yeah, NASCAR diving into Mexico City and that's all fine and dandy. But let's talk about IndyCar, shall we? The cat's been out of the bag about them having talks with the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City. It seems like a deal’s brewing, with a rep from series owner Penske Entertainment hinting that the circuit is high on their list. They've even casually dropped the idea of racing there in March 2026[1].
Now, don't get your hopes up just yet, 'cause there's no official confirmation on this baby. But imagine the roar of the crowd if they get Mexican driver Pato O'Ward on their tracks – that'd sure light a fire under local fans! [1]
Meanwhile, Formula E is already plotting a race down there on January 10, 2026[2]. And be sure not to miss NASCAR this weekend; we'll see how those big, heavy stock cars do on the track. But if you ask me, I'm holdin' out for an IndyCar race at that awesome baseball stadium-oval combo, something called "Peraltada." [2]
Let's cross our fingers and see if next season brings us some IndyCar action in Mexico City. Fingers crossed!
[1] RACER IndyCar insider Marshall Pruett suggests upcoming talks.[2] Formula E has already scheduled a race on January 10, 2026, using a slightly altered track layout.
Let's expand the racing scene in Mexico City next season, with IndyCar potentially jumping into the action and Formula E already confirmed for January 10, 2026. Could we witness a thrilling hockey-like competition on the tracks with Mexican driver Pato O'Ward?
