The NASCAR Cup Series is set for its first ever race in Mexico on Sunday afternoon after Saturday's rain-shortened qualifying session at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, with the Viva Mexico 250 set to mark the first international Cup Series points race in nearly seven decades.
Trackhouse Racing's Shane van Gisbergen took the pole position for this 100-lap race around the 15-turn, 2.429-mile (3.909-kilometer) road course in Mexico City, Mexico, and he is set to start alongside RFK Racing's Ryan Preece.
But one driver will not retain his qualifying result from Saturday.
Front Row Motorsports' Noah Gragson is set to drop the rear of the field on Sunday after the No. 4 team went to a backup car.
Gragson initially qualified in 35th place, so he is only set to drop two places. Because of how "to the rear" penalties work in NASCAR, with drivers simply dropping to the tail end of their initial lane, the driver in 36th, Joe Gibbs Racing's Ryan Truex, won't move up, as he is still set to start on the outside.
Live Fast Motorsports' Katherine Legge, who qualified last (37th), is set to move up a row and start 35th instead of Gragson.
Here is the full updated starting lineup for the Viva Mexico 250 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
