It's been 10 years since Daniel Suau0301rez raced in his native Mexico. He was in his early 20s, competing in the NASCAR Mexico Series while also commuting to the United States, where he would compete in what is now known as the ARCA Menards Series East -- the stock-car equivalent of Single-A baseball.
He'll do it again this weekend when he pulls double duty at Mexico City's Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez road course, competing in both the Xfinity Series and the Cup Series -- the first time NASCAR's headliners will race in the country.
"It's very special," Suau0301rez told ESPN.
