The EcoCentro de Querétaro will host Round 11 of NASCAR México and Challenge Series on September 20-21. The Querétaro race will eliminate the top three drivers from the 2025 playoffs, reducing the field from ten to seven competitors.
During the championship's first visit to this venue on June 1, Alex de Alba from AGA Racing Team took first place. The driver from San Luis Potosí crossed the finish line followed by Abraham Calderón of Commscope-Telcel, Julio Rejón of GGG Racing, Max Gutiérrez of Canel's-Logitech-Laboratorios Tequis, and Rubén Rovelo of Alessandros completing the top five.
Alex de Alba leads 2025 season with two wins
De Alba Jr. tops the standings with 1000 points and two race wins this season: Tuxtla Gutiérrez and precisely Querétaro. He's followed by Max Gutiérrez (1008 points, 2 wins) and Xavi Razo (1008 points, 2 wins) in a tight battle for the lead.

Querétaro chosen for logistical reasons
The selection of Querétaro as replacement venue responded to clear logistical criteria. San Luis Potosí, with three scheduled appearances (March, August and October), was ruled out to avoid oversaturation. Puebla faces a similar situation with races in April, July and November.
Mexico City had scheduling conflicts, as the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez will host a concert on September 12-13, complicating logistics for a race on the 14th. The most viable options included Chiapas, Querétaro and Monterrey, each with only one assigned date, plus the possible return of Dorado Speedway in Chihuahua.
2025 calendar maintains 14 scheduled rounds
The organization confirmed it will maintain the 14 scheduled rounds for 2025. After Querétaro, the remaining races include San Luis Potosí on August 10, a date to be confirmed on September 14, San Luis Potosí again on October 5, Aguascalientes on October 19, and Puebla closing on November 9.
