Nationwide Series haulers arrive in Mexico City

MEXICO CITY – All of the Nationwide Series haulers have arrived at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, and the garage will open Friday at the track in preparation for Sunday's Corona 200 race.
For drivers who have been to the track before, it should be quite a familiar. There are no changes in the course configuration, and the series once again will use its road-course qualifying procedures, where they will go out in groups of six, Nationwide Series Director Joe Balash said Thursday morning at the track.
One thing that could be different is that there is more of a threat of a rain than when the Nationwide Series came in early March the last three years.
There is a 30 percent chance of rain throughout the weekend, with high temperatures in the low 80s.
Goodyear has brought rain tires, which were made about four years ago, to the track this weekend.
Balash said if it were to rain during the race, NASCAR would throw a caution so teams could change to rain tires. It would then be their choice when to take them off.
Forty-seven drivers are entered for the event. A second Means Racing car with Mike Potter has withdrawn. Mexican driver Rafael Martinez has replaced Burney Lamar in Baker Curb Racing's No. 37 car for the weekend.
