On August 17, the Haciendo Historia Championship continued at Aquiles Speedway Park with the sixth round, the "Gran Premio Autopartes 59." The attendance was good, and although the activities were scheduled to start at 6:00 pm, a two-hour delay caused by the late arrival of some drivers affected the event's schedule.

The first to hit the track were the participants of the V8 Estándar category, who completed a qualifying session to determine the starting grid. Xavier Guerrero (#44) had set the provisional fastest time but was penalized for completing an extra lap after the checkered flag, relegating him to the back of the grid. Gustavo Pérez (#18) also faced issues, as he couldn't set a time due to technical problems with the timing system, leaving him at the back of the grid.

Qualifying Results - V8 Estándar
  • Filiberto Guerra (#F21) - Best lap: 25.089
  • Óscar Carrasco (#555) - Best lap: 25.182
  • Francisco Licón (#20) - Best lap: 26.064
  • Iván Carrasco (#78P) - Best lap: 26.261
  • Enrique Aguirre (#1) - Best lap: 26.382
  • Arturo Palos (#47) - Best lap: 26.469
  • Ricardo Prieto (#623) - Best lap: 26.509
  • Aníbal García (#24P) - Best lap: 26.545
  • Rubén Alvarado (#38) - Best lap: 26.549
  • Gustavo Pérez (#18) - No time
  • Xavier Guerrero (#44) - Penalized

The Modificada category was also scheduled to qualify, but due to the previous delays, the session was canceled, and the cars started according to the order they were supposed to qualify. This decision also affected other aspects of the program, such as the cancellation of the ceremonial start with the national anthem, a tradition established this year.

The track was in excellent condition at the beginning of the event, but as the categories progressed, a groove began to form in turns 1 and 2, posing an additional challenge for the final races of the night.

Novatos V8

The first race was for the Novatos V8 category, which had to wait for two restart attempts because some drivers did not respect their starting positions. Iván Armendáriz (#21) initially led the race, but a collision with Miguel Tarango (#76) resulted in an accident that dropped both to the back of the field. Armendáriz managed to recover to third place in just two laps, while Iván Moreno (#444) and Agustín Chavira Jr. (#01) battled for the top positions. Armendáriz regained first place on the penultimate lap, with Moreno and Chavira completing the podium.

Final Results - Novatos V8

Pony Expertos

The second race of the night was for the Pony Expertos category. Jorge Sánchez (#21) held the lead from the start, while Jorge Gómez (#17) quickly advanced to second place. Veteran driver José Carrillo (#43) had an intense battle with young Jován Alvarado Jr. (#99) for positions. After a restart, the positions tightened, leading to an exciting battle between two groups of drivers. In the end, the podium was occupied by Jorge Gómez (#17), Manuel Pérez Jr. (#13), and Jorge Sánchez (#21).

On the restart, Enrique Aguirre (#1) successfully attacked, taking the lead. A contact between Guerra, Óscar Carrasco (#555), and Xavier Guerrero (#44) resulted in another spin and another yellow flag. In the next restart, an incident caused by Guerrero made Gustavo Pérez (#18) hit Aguirre, leaving Pérez out of the race. Filiberto Guerra finally regained the lead, followed by Enrique Aguirre.
