Nascar returns to the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez for the first Cup series -points outside the United States in nearly 67 years.
The Mexico City Road track held host to the XFinity series from 2005-08, but its layout has changed significantly since then.
The track was virtually rebuilt before the return of Formula One in 2015, and added a new race control, VIP section, hospital and sizes. The circuit, which contains different configurations, was also redistributed.
Some practiced in an oxygen order, as seen by Tyler Reddick on a bicycle in the Toyota Performance Center, and some slept in hypoxic tents.
Apart from F1 (which is in third place on the track after chasing there from 1962-70 and 1986-92), Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez also played host to the World Endurance Championship, Formula E and various motorcycle and sports cars.
The multiple layouts contain an oval just below a kilometer used by the Nascar Mexico series. The National Circuit, a 15-turn of 15 times, 2.429 miles, is used by NASCAR this weekend.
According to Racing Insights, William Byron is first for the season in speed and restart rankings.
The cut was renamed in 1973 in honor of Ricardo and Pedro Rodriguez, a Mexican siblings who drove in F1 during the 1960s.
It will celebrate the third international points race in the cup series, which has been rushing twice in Canada. The most recent event outside the United States was held in Toronto in July 1958 and won by Lee Petty with Richard Petty making his cup debut.
