The NASCAR Mexico Corona Series is a NASCAR series in Mexico. The series was originally the Desafio Corona Series, the largest stock car racing series in Mexico. NASCAR founded the series in 2004 in conjunction with OCESA, an entertainment company. The partnership between NASCAR and OCESA is now officially known as NASCAR Mexico.
Starting in 2007, NASCAR Mexico will sanction this series in conjunction with the NASCAR Mexico T4 Series.
The renamed series is expected to share NASCAR’s regional-tiered series, along with the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series and the two Grand National divisions, the Busch East Series and West Series.
Following North American short-track racing trends to cut costs and unify rules among different tours, NASCAR is considering changes to the Canadian Tire and Corona Series where the two series adopt the Grand National rules in 2008 as to allow the competitors to use the same cars in Grand National races. The winner of the Corona Series and Canadian Tire Series will each receive an invitation to the Toyota All-Star Showdown.
