Mexican Billionaire Backs Latino NASCAR Star with $80 Billion in Landmark Deal

In a groundbreaking move set to shake the foundations of NASCAR, Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim Helú, worth a staggering $80 billion, has thrown his support behind Latino driver Daniel Suarez. This momentous partnership marks a pivotal moment not only for NASCAR but for the entire landscape of international motorsports.

Suarez, who left Mexico in pursuit of his NASCAR dreams a decade ago, is now on the brink of making history as NASCAR gears up for its first points-paying race outside the United States since 1958. The stage is set for a triumphant return to Mexican soil this June, with all eyes on the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

The unveiling of the No. 99 Telcel-Infinitum Chevrolet at a press conference in Mexico City was a sight to behold, symbolizing a fusion of sporting prowess and national pride. Suarez, visibly moved by the occasion, expressed his elation, declaring, “This, to me, is a dream come true. Being born and raised in Mexico is very special to me.”

This collaboration goes beyond mere sponsorship, transcending into a realm where cultural boundaries are blurred, and international relations are strengthened. Suarez’s achievements in NASCAR, including being the first Mexican-born Xfinity Series Champion in 2016, have paved the way for this historic moment.

As Suarez gears up for the monumental race in his home country, he remains focused on not just winning on the track but also on winning the hearts of Mexican fans. The backing of Slim Helú’s telecommunications empire signifies a turning point in NASCAR’s efforts to embrace diversity and expand its global footprint.

Despite facing challenges along the way, such as a recent close call with a loose tire at Bristol Motor Speedway, Suarez’s journey is a testament to perseverance and passion. His victories at Sonoma in 2022 and Atlanta in 2024 have solidified his position as a force to be reckoned with in American motorsports.

With the backing of Mexico’s wealthiest business magnate and the unwavering support of his team at Trackhouse Racing, Suarez is poised to leave a lasting legacy in NASCAR history. As the countdown to the historic race in Mexico City begins, all eyes are on this dynamic duo to make a lasting impact on the sport and pave the way for a new era of diversity and inclusion in NASCAR.
