The NASCAR Mexico Series has been racing in the Mexican state of Querétaro since the series' inception in 2004.

The race is held at Autódromo de Quéretaro, which is located within the EcoCentro exhibition center — just east of the state's capital city of Santiago de Querétaro, in the municipality of El Marqués.

Rafael Martínez has taken 6 victories in Quéretaro, the most of any driver.

History

The layout of the original Autódromo de Querétaro

The race has historically been held at two different venues within the El Marqués municipality that share the same name.

The original Autódromo de Quéretaro hosted 7 NASCAR Mexico Series races between 2004 and 2007, before being replaced by the present-day circuit for the 2008 season. The new circuit was an attempt to provide more modern facilities and amenities for motorsport events in the area, such as an electronic timing and scoring system and race control tower.[1]

The first race at the new venue was held on 30 March 2008, as the opening race of the season. Since then, the track has used two different configurations for NASCAR Mexico races — a 2.3 km (1.4 mi) road course, and a 1.3 km (0.8 mi) oval.

In 2020, Querétaro became the first location in series' history to host 5 races in a single season, in response to precautions taken due to the COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in several cancelled rounds.
