NASCAR is in an international territory for the first time in over two decades as the premier form of stock car racing is hosting the Xfinity and Cup Series races at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico.

The race weekend kicked off with The Chilango 150, a 65-lap, 157-mile race on Saturday, and will be followed by the Viva Mexico 250, a 100-lap, 241-mile Cup Series race on Sunday. The Mexican driver started his race from 39th place, improved significantly in Stage 1 (30th place) and Stage 2 (20th place), and took the lead in the final stage.

In the end, he crossed the finish line ahead of Taylor Gray and Austin Hill to secure his fourth Xfinity win of his career. Sharing a video of Suarez's winning moment on social media, Piquet captioned it with one Spanish word. She wrote,

"Inolvidable"

Inolvidable in Spanish translates to unforgettable in English. Here's the screenshot of Julia Piquet's screenshot from Instagram, celebrating her husband's win:
