Since 2014, NASCAR has used the win-and-in system that rewards drivers for winning a race. Unless there are more than 16 winners in a season, a win typically gets a driver into the 16-driver postseason field, regardless of how their performance has been for the entire season.

NASCAR's seven-time world champion has blasted the sport for its "win and in" policy while rejecting road courses.

Shane van Gisbergen won the pole for the Viva Mexico 250 in qualifying on Saturday, setting the fastest time (92.776, 93.904 mph) in a session that was cut short by rain. Van Gisbergen's pole is his first of the season and the second of his Cup career.

NASCAR’s race weekend in Mexico City brought out the notoriously passionate motorsports fans in the area who certainly lived up to that billing.
