There will be 37 Cup cars and 39 Xfinity cars competing in this historic event at Mexico City. The Xfinity field, which is usually capped at 38 grid spots, has been expanded to 40 for this event only. As a result, everyone on the entry list will get to compete in the big show.
The Cup field includes the usual field of 36 with all of the expected full-time drivers, and just one open entry. That will be No. 78 Live Fast Motorsports Chevrolet with Katherine Legge behind the wheel.
The Xfinity field will include a handful of Cup drivers, hoping to gain more experience on the road course. NASCAR’s top Mexican-born talent — Daniel Suarez — will be driving the No. 9 JR Motorsports Chevrolet. A pair of Joe Gibbs Racing drivers have also entered the event with Ty Gibbs driving the No. 19 JGR Toyota and Christopher Bell driving the No. 24 Sam Hunt Racing Toyota.
Andres Perez De Lara will be the only other Mexican-born driver in the field, making his Xfinity debut in the No. 91 DGM Racing Chevrolet. No driver has been officially announced for the No. 35 yet, but the car will take part in the Xfinity race.
