This weekend, we head to Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez for The Chilango 150. The race is Saturday at 4:30pm ET on The CW. The Xfinity Series ran 4 races here from 2005 to 2008 but haven’t been to Mexico City since. The racing is different, the track is different, and there have already been travel challenges. I was hoping to write this article after practice, but practice was moved to race day because of the travel issues. In the 4 races on the old layout, the race winner started inside the top 6, and all 4 races had at least 7 cautions (before stage breaks). Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is a 2.429-mile track with 15 turns. It has the 2nd-longest straightaway these teams will run all season. We saw a lot of Cup drivers struggle in turns 4 and 11 on Friday. This track has the potential to create some crazy restarts. I’ll be using recent road course data, practice data, 2025 speed, and a few other things when building lineups.
NASCAR Xfinity Series DFS Picks: The Chilango 150
The stages are 20, 20, and 25, which is a total of 65 laps. With 65 laps, we’re looking at 29.25 potential fastest lap points and 16.25 laps led points. After cautions, we’re looking at 40ish dominator points. This means place differential and finishing position is going to be king this weekend. COTA earlier this season was 65 laps as well. The optimal for that race was Zilisch (1st), Hill (12th), Sawalich (23rd), Mayer (8th), Ellis (34th), and Eckes (10th).
