A NASCAR journalist explored the possibility of star IndyCar driver Pato O’Ward participating in the Mexico City race next season. The Arrow McLaren driver hails from Monterrey, Mexico, and is one of the most popular racing drivers in North America.
The premier stock car racing series is set to make a historic trip to Mexico City in 2025. The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit will host the Cup and the Xfinity Series on June 14-15, with Prime Video covering the broadcast.AP Sports reporter Jenna Fryer suggested that Larson and O’Ward should swap rides for the weekend, with waivers given beforehand, given that the Mexico City race clashes with IndyCar’s race weekend at Gateway. Larson has already driven for Arrow McLaren in the Indy 500 this season.

NASCAR has inquired on Pato Who’s availability/interest in running Mexico City next June. #IndyCar races Gateway that weekend so I think the only fair solution is a Larson-Pato swap with waivers in hand,” she wrote in a post on X (previously Twitter).
NASCAR already has Mexican driver Daniel Suárez in the Cup Series, who will be in the spotlight throughout the weekend. However, IndyCar’s most popular driver, Pato O’Ward, making a one-off appearance would create plenty of excitement and hype for the event.Arrow McLaren driver O’Ward has never competed in a stock car racing series, primarily focusing on open-wheel series throughout his career. The 2018 Indy Lights champion is also associated with the McLaren F1 team, serving as the reserve driver.
