XAVI RAZO WANTS THE TOP SPOT 🏁🔥

CHASING VICTORY IN PUEBLA With a strong pace and the championship lead in his pocket, Xavi Razo is ready to take on Round 3 of the 2025 NASCAR México Series, which will be held this Sunday at the Autódromo Internacional Miguel E. Abed in Amozoc, Puebla—a track where the Mexico City driver has already written memorable chapters in past seasons. With 88 pointscollected over the first two rounds, Razo knows the time to land the decisive blow is closer than ever 📈🏆 DOMINATING WITH RESULTS AND EXPERIENCE 🎯 It’s been a strong start to the season for the No. 7 car. A second-place finish in San Luis Potosí followed by a third placein Tuxtla Gutiérrez are solid credentials heading into a track he knows inside and out. But beyond the numbers, it’s his consistent performance that positions him as one of the top favorites to stand on the top step of the podium this weekend 🚗💨 “WE ALREADY KNOW HOW TO WIN HERE” 🧠💪 For Xavi, racing in Puebla is no small thing. “I really like this track, I have great memories here. I’ve already won on this circuit—not just in NASCAR México, but in other categories too. Coming back is always special,” he shared with a mix of nostalgia and ambition. Razo, who was the regular season champion in 2024, arrives with a clear mindset: take advantage of his technical knowledge and the strong momentum of his team 🔧🏎️ COMMUNICATION IS KEY ON TRACK 🛠️📡 One of the keys to his performance has been the almost surgical connection with his engineer. “What we have between driver and engineer isn’t something you can fake. In Tuxtla, we had the pace to win. Unfortunately, an outside decision—a misapplied rule—prevented us from going all in,” he explained. Still, he’s confident that their teamwork will get them back to where they belong: the front 👊⏱️ NUMBERS BACK HIM UP 📊🏁 After two rounds, the Mexico City driver leads the championship with 88 points, the result of consistency and smart driving. The Puebla race is scheduled for 75 laps or 100 minutes, whichever comes first, demanding a balanced mix of aggression and strategy—something Razo excels at 🧩🧠 STRUCTURAL SUPPORT BEHIND THE WHEEL 🤝🚛 Xavi Razo’s performance wouldn’t be possible without the backing of a solid team. The No. 7 car is supported by brands fully committed to motorsports: Solucion.es, GSC, B Lock Media, Flex Seguridad, Armstrong Armored, Servicios Logísticos Palco, Intercash, Grupo Catraar, Orpack, Compresores y Herramientas Carroll, Pup Care, Palco Consorcio de Comercio Internacional, Dycinsa, Batalion Seguridad Privada, Toro Presto, BYM Industrial, Marketing & Advertising—all under the competitive umbrella of Prime Sports Racing Team 🚀⚙️ CLEAR GOAL: WIN 🏆🚦 The third race of the season is a golden opportunity for Razo to strengthen his lead with a win that has so far slipped away due to factors beyond his control. But if there’s one thing this driver has shown, it’s that he never backs down. Puebla is waiting, the track knows him, and the championship is starting to take shape. The question is: can anyone stop car No. 7 this weekend? 😤🔥

La F1 podría regresar a Sudáfrica en 2028

F1 could return to South Africa in 2028

With an ambitious project in Cape Town, South Africa is looking to host Formula 1 again on a circuit designed around the DHL Stadium, which was inaugurated for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. South Africa is making history with an innovative proposal to bring Formula 1 (F1) back to the African continent. Cape Town has presented a plan to transform the area surrounding the DHL Stadium—built for the 2010 FIFA World Cup—into an urban circuit. This ambitious project aims to return the pinnacle of motorsport to the world’s largest continent, the only region currently absent from the F1 calendar. South Africa last hosted a Grand Prix (GP) in 1993 at the Kyalami circuit, which had been the home of the South African GP from 1967 until its final race in 1993. Now, after an initial bid in Kyalami was rejected, the South African government is backing the Cape Town circuit, designed by German engineer and F1 track specialist Hermann Tilke. The proposed layout spans 5.7 kilometers along the Green Point waterfront. Additionally, Igshaan Almay, CEO of the project, emphasized in an interview with Motorsports the logistical advantages of the venue, including its proximity to the city’s airport and an extensive selection of hotels for F1 fans attending the event. The South African GP could attract an estimated 250,000 spectators over the race weekend. Tough Competition for 2028 This project faces strong competition, as several emerging locations are vying to host an F1 race in the 2028 season. Among them are Thailand, South Korea, and Rwanda—the latter also aiming to bring Formula 1 back to Africa.

Denny Hamlin repitió victoria en NASCAR Cup

Denny Hamlin repeats his NASCAR Cup victory

Denny Hamlin Wins Back-to-Back, Takes Goodyear 400 Victory at Darlington Toyota #11 driver Denny Hamlin repeated his NOCO 400 victory by claiming the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway, thanks to a decisive pit stop. From Pit Stop to Victory An unexpected result in the NASCAR Cup Series saw Denny Hamlin shock everyone in the final moments of the Goodyear 400. A crucial pit stop under the last yellow flag propelled the #11 car to the lead, securing his second consecutive win. Although William Byron led the race for the first 243 laps, a green-flag pit stop handed Hamlin the top spot. In the final laps, Hamlin battled for the lead with Christopher Bell, Ryan Blaney, and Tyler Reddick, who also took the lead at one point. However, a yellow flag with just four laps to go determined the outcome. Most of the leaders opted to pit, including Hamlin, Byron, and Reddick. Hamlin’s crew delivered a lightning-fast stop, just milliseconds quicker than Byron and Reddick, allowing him to clinch the victory in overtime. Byron finished second, while Christopher Bell secured third, pushing Reddick down to fourth. Hamlin Climbs to Second in the Standings With this back-to-back NASCAR victory—something Hamlin hadn’t achieved since 2012—the Toyota #11 driver moved up to second place in the championship standings with 266 points, trailing only Byron, who leads with 315. Bell sits just three points behind Hamlin in third place. They did it again. pic.twitter.com/TaAt9IG9Dz — NASCAR (@NASCAR) April 6, 2025 Cover photo: X (@NASCAR)
