Shane van Gisbergen powered his way to victory through rain and chaos on Sunday, claiming the inaugural Viva Mexico 250 as NASCAR made its debut at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in the Mexican capital.

Low turnout and fears over democratic backsliding marked Mexico’s shift to electing judges, which opens the way for the Morena party to dominate courts.

Mexican Senate President Gerardo Fernández Noroña displayed a 1830s map showing California and Texas as Mexican territory during the LA immigration debate.

New Zealand's Shane van Gisbergen revealed that he received advice from Formula One champion Max Verstappen before storming to victory in NASCAR's rain-affected Mexican circuit Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on Sunday.

Many Mexican Americans remember that California became part of the United States after a 19th century war that cost Mexico more than half its territory.

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

About 100 protesters 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 New Zealander led 60 of 100 laps Sunday at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez to earn his first Cup victory since he won in his NASCAR debut at the inaugural 2023 street course race in Chicago. That victory changed his career trajectory and Van Gisbergen left Australia V8 Supercars, where he was a multiple champion, for a full-time move to NASCAR.

Shane van Gisbergen — winner: “What a week. I’ve really enjoyed myself. I felt pretty rubbish today. Leaking out both holes, that wasn’t fun. Our car was amazing. I think the 54 was close. That list stint, man, what a pleasure just ripping lap after lap. Watching them get smaller in the mirror. Unreal.”
