In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, NASCAR Studios collaborated with Wilmer Valderrama’s WV Alternative and FOX Sports to produce a one-hour documentary tracking Cup Series driver Daniel Suárez’s return to his homeland for a landmark race weekend in Mexico City.
The film debuted on FOX Sports 1 on Thursday, September 17, and becomes available on Tubi TV starting Saturday, October 17 across U.S., Mexico, and LATAM markets. Additional replays are scheduled on FOX Sports 1, including 11 p.m. EST on Friday, September 18, and 8 a.m. EST on Saturday, September 19, with further airings in the following days.
When the NASCAR Cup Series staged its first international event since 1958, organizers selected Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City as the venue. Both the Cup and Xfinity Series competed during the historic June 2025 weekend, with Suárez participating in both races.

“The most compelling sports stories transcend competition, and Daniel’s is exactly that,” said Barry Nugent, Vice President of Development & Original Programming at FOX Sports. “His journey is defined by perseverance, sacrifice, and unwavering pride in his roots. He has opened doors, inspired fans, and given the next generation someone to see themselves in. We’re proud to partner with WV Alternative and NASCAR Studios to share this deeply personal chapter of Daniel’s life.”
Suárez remains the only foreign-born driver to win a national NASCAR title and the sole international competitor to capture victories across all three national divisions. The documentary traces his remarkable ascent through the racing ranks after arriving in the United States with little more than hope and ambition. Central to the narrative is the Mexico City weekend—a roller-coaster of soaring highs and crushing lows.
Suárez reflects on his love for America and his path to citizenship in 2024, while candidly addressing tensions between Mexico and the U.S. stemming from the Trump administration’s immigration policies. The film also connects his 2026 Coca-Cola 600 triumph with the disappointment he endured in that same race a year earlier.
“Coming back to Mexico and racing in front of my home country was something I’d dreamed about for a long time, but I don’t think I fully understood what it would mean until I was there,” Suárez said. “There were so many emotions that weekend—the pressure, the support from my family and fans, and thinking about everything I’d gone through to reach that point. Mexico will always be a huge part of who I am, and being able to race there at the highest level was an incredibly meaningful moment in my life. I hope people watching this film can understand where I came from, what this journey has meant to me, and feel inspired to chase their own dreams, no matter where they start.”
