Alex Bowman wasn’t sure he was going to make the trip to Mexico City because of lower back pain suffered in “the hardest hit of my career”

Daniel Suárez survived a late-race restart to win his home race in the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

About 100 protestors marched more than a mile Saturday from one of Mexico City’s hippest neighborhoods--the home to many young expat Americans--to the U.S. embassy. There, they rallied in a light drizzle against President Trump.

The NASCAR Cup and Xfinity series will hold consecutive qualifying sessions Saturday at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, which then will play host to back-to-back races on its 15-turn, 2.42-mile layout. The NASCAR Mexico Series will hold a 40-lap race (with a 70-minute time limit), followed by a 65-lap race for the Xfinity Series.

Daniel Suárez carries Mexico’s hopes, embracing the spotlight and pressure in NASCAR’s historic race at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

Supporters and opponents of the Los Angeles protesters see the prominence of the Mexican flag in different contexts.
