2023 NASCAR Mexico Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2023 NASCAR Mexico Series was the sixteenth season of the NASCAR Mexico Series, a regional stock car racing series sanctioned by NASCAR in Mexico. It was the nineteenth season of the series as a NASCAR-sanctioned series. It began with the Los Cabos 200 at Súper Óvalo Chiapas on 26 March and ended with a race at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez on 5 November. Salvador de Alba won the championship. It was his second championship in three years as he also won the 2021 series championship.
Playoff Format
This was the first season in which a playoffs system would be used to determine the season's champion. In its first iteration in the NASCAR Mexico Series, a total of six drivers would qualify for the playoffs. This would include the top four drivers in the regular season points standings, along with two wildcard drivers with the most wins.
There would be two races in the playoffs - after the first race, the bottom two drivers in points would be eliminated, with the final four drivers competing to be the highest finisher in the last race of the season. This driver would be crowned the end-of-season champion.
