Jun 4, 2025
Totalplay will serve as Carson Hocevar's primary sponsor at the Viva Mexico 250 at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
Totalplay delivers top-quality connectivity and entertainment services through its 100 percent fully fiber-optic, direct-to-home network. The telecommunications provider based in Mexico City will adorn the No. 77 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet for the NASCAR Cup Series' inaugural visit to the 17-turn road course in Mexico.
Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez previously hosted the NASCAR Xfinity Series between 2004 and 2008, and is currently the home of Formula 1's Mexico City Grand Prix.It will now host the first points-paying NASCAR Cup Series event outside the United States since 1958 in Toronto, Canada.
"We've seen a lot of growth for the sport over the last several years, and because of that, I think it's time that we have an international race and give that a try,” said Hocevar. “This car has put on a good race on the road courses and it will be interesting to see how it does on a track where we see other high-level motorsports series compete.
"I'm looking forward to seeing how we unload at Mexico. The No. 77 team has put in a lot of effort to improve and find consistency from week to week no matter what type of course we're racing. We finished 2024 with a strong finish at Watkins Glen and had made a lot of progress overall with our road course program. I expect we'll have speed and since everyone is on an even playing field to start, we should have a good shot at a decent starting position. From there we'll just learn with every lap and hope to be fighting for the win."
While Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez will be a new challenge for the NASCAR Cup Series field, Hocevar has established he can compete on the road courses in NASCAR. Last year, he finished third in the Go Bowling at the Glen at Watkins Glen International.
The Portage, Michigan native finished second last Sunday at Nashville Superspeedway in the Cracker Barrel 400, his second runner-up finish of the 2025 season.
The Viva Mexico 250 will air on Prime Video on Sunday, June 15, beginning at 3 p.m. ET. Coevare will also be available on the Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
