In preparation for its first points race held outside the United States, the NASCAR Busch Series will conduct a test on Wednesday, Jan. 12 at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez road course in Mexico City, site of the “Mexico 200” on March 6.

Richard Childress Racing and Jeff Burton, driver of the No. 31 Cingular Wireless Chevrolet in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series and winner of 20 races in the NASCAR Busch Series, will be the test team.

The one-day test is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. in Mexico City (10:00 a.m. ET) on the 2.518-mile course. The “Mexico 200” will be an 80-lap event, and marks the NASCAR Busch Series’ return to road course racing for the first time since 2001 at Watkins Glen.
 
i dont know how big of a fan i will be of races out side of the USA. I thought nascar was trying to limit the amount of money teams spent in the Busch series. Going out of the country wont be cheap. Then if there are enough teams that spend the money to go there some of them wont even get a spot in the race due to the other foreign drivers from around that track. Just like when cup went to japan to race.
 
Suppose it would cost more to go from California to Mexico City than it would New Hampshire to Colorado?

As for races outside of the US, I' have a feeling there are fans who don't want races outside of Daytona Beach.
