INDIANAPOLIS — IndyCar has announced its long-awaited return to Mexico and the Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez will have to wait at least another year.
In a Sept. 13 press release , the series announced it will not race at the popular road course located not far from downtown Mexico City because of the "significant impact" of next summer's FIFA World Cup, which is scheduled to be held across Canada, Mexico and the United States.
"While we absolutely want to race in Mexico, we also want to ensure everyone involved feels the conditions are in place to plan a world-class and highly engaging race weekend. We will keep working to bring our racing to Mexico and hope for an event to be on the schedule as soon as the right opportunity presents itself," Penske Entertainment President and CEO Mar
