PEAK has announced it will be the entitlement sponsor for the NASCAR PEAK Mexico Series starting in 2017 on Dec. 3-4 in an exhibition race in Mexico City.
Celebrating its 10th season, the series will officially get underway in 2017, with a full championship schedule that will be announced at a later date.
The NASCAR PEAK Mexico Series has helped develop some of NASCAR’s best young drivers, including Daniel Suárez, who is the first Mexican-born driver to capture Sunoco Rookie of the Year honors; win a NASCAR national series race; lead a national series in points; and compete in the NASCAR XFINITY Series Chase for a championship – which he is currently pursuing. Furthermore, the continued development of young Mexican drivers, like reigning NASCAR PEAK Mexico Series Champion Ruben Garcia Jr., exemplifies the wealth of talent competing throughout the series.
“I am extremely proud to be a Mexican driver competing against the best young drivers making a name for themselves in the NASCAR XFINITY Series,” said Daniel Suarez, driver of the No. 19 ARRIS Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing. “I am lucky to have had the support of NASCAR’s developmental programs along the way – including the NASCAR Mexico Series. I am excited to see that other talented Latin American drivers will continue to have similar opportunities for many years to come.”
“We remain steadfast in our commitment to develop young talent and engage our passionate fan base in Mexico,” said Lou Garate, vice president, partnership marketing, NASCAR. “PEAK is a world-class brand and its three decades of experience in motorsports will help elevate NASCAR-sanctioned racing in Mexico.”
The Motorsports News Source is happy to reveal that we will cover the season opening race along with the remainder of the 2017 Season joining the NASCAR Pinty's Series. We will also be adding another series for 2017 and that announcement will be coming soon. (Koelle,2016; In part from NASCAR Press Release)
