The start of the 2025 NASCAR Challenge Series season is making it clear that there’s a new name to watch closely: Rodrigo Maggio. The driver from Mexico City has proven he doesn’t need a long learning curve to be among the best. With only two races under his belt in his rookie year in this demanding category, he’s already sitting seventh in the championship standings with 50 points accumulated 🏁📈
NO TIME TO WASTE ⏱️🔥
Adapting quickly is no easy task, but Maggio, behind the wheel of car #16, has managed to turn teamwork into solid results from the get-go. The vehicle, backed by a long list of sponsors such as Palco Reciclados, CANO Comfricsa, Maeesa, Notaría 51, Dinametra, Cohidsa, GO Construcciones, Arcos Supercenter, Presto Pegamentos / Selladores, Plásticos Raisa, Lex Trade; Marketing & Advertising,, is not only fast, but also consistently strong on track—something essential for any title contender 🧠🔧
TWO RACES, TWO BATTLES 🏎️💥
The recent story of the Prime Sports Racing Team driver includes two episodes that showcase his strong form. In San Luis Potosí, host of the season opener, he broke into the Top 7 in a physically and technically demanding race. Then, in Chiapas, the second stop on the calendar, he crossed the line in tenth—a result that, while not as high, brought key points for building his current spot in the standings 🔝📊
PUEBLA, THE NEXT STOP 🇲🇽⛰️
With eyes now on the next challenge, Rodrigo Maggio is preparing for round three of the calendar, set for April 13 at the tough Autódromo Internacional Miguel E. Abed in Amozoc, Puebla. It will be a road course race, a completely different setting that will test not just pace, but also the team’s strategic skills and the driver’s finesse behind the wheel 🧭🚘
THE GOAL IS CLEAR 🥉🏆
“The pace has been there, and so has the rhythm. The team’s done a great job. We’ve adapted well to the category. Sooner or later, what we’re looking for will come,” said Rodrigo with the calm confidence of someone who believes in the work put in—but also with the hunger to climb the podium. “We’re heading to Puebla to chase that big result we already feel is close,” he added firmly 🔥🗣️
GROWING QUIETLY, RACING SERIOUSLY 🧩🎯
Even if the media spotlight hasn’t fully caught on yet, Rodrigo Maggio’s performance is speaking volumes in the paddock. His fast adaptation, the technical backing of the Prime Sports Racing Team, and a string of consistent results are shaping him up as one of the new talents to watch this season. There’s still a long way to go in the championship, but one thing is certain: he didn’t come to just take part—he came to race.
