Who won the NASCAR Cup Series Viva Mexico 250 at Mexico City? Finishing order and results

The NASCAR Cup Series was at Mexico City's Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on Sunday for the running of the Viva Mexico 250, which saw Trackhouse Racing's Shane van Gisbergen put on a clinic south of the border.

Van Gisbergen led the field to green for the 100-lap race around the 2.42-mile, 15-turn road course. Before the opening lap was even completed, the caution came out for rain, forcing the majority of the field to put on wet weather tires. Carnage broke out on Lap 7 when Kyle Busch got in too deep to Turn 1 and collected Justin Haley, Kyle Larson, Zane Smith, Chase Briscoe and AJ Allmendinger. As the track began to dry, most drivers reverted back to dry tires by the end of Stage 1, which went to Ryan Preece.

Stage 2 was slowed once for a spin from Ryan Truex on Lap 32. Truex was driving in relief of Denny Hamlin, who stayed home following the birth of his third child earlier in the week. Ty Gibbs gave up stage points to pit coming to two laps to go in Stage 2 while van Gisbergen stayed on track to get the stage win.

Moments after van Gisbergen and Christopher Bell pitted from the top-two positions on track under green-flag conditions, the final caution came out for Carson Hocevar with 36 laps left. That forced Ty Gibbs and those that had not pitted to make their final stop under caution while van Gisbergen and Bell vaulted back to the top for what turned out to be the final restart with 32 laps to go.

Van Gisbergen was in his own zip code during the final green-flag run and pulled away to win by a commanding 16.567 seconds over Bell. His 60 laps led were a race-high and he even added a Stage 2 win for good measure. His margin of victory is a record in the NextGen Car, surpassing Kyle Larson's seven-second win at Bristol last fall.

Daniel Suarez was unable to sweep the weekend after his Xfinity win on Saturday, ultimately finishing 19th. Truex was 23rd in relief of Hamlin and Katherine Legge was 32nd in her second Cup Series start. Carson Hocevar and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. got together in the stadium section of the course with 11 laps to go. That was their second run-in in the last three races, leading to Stenhouse coming over to Hocevar's car and voicing his displeasure after the race. Sunday's race in Mexico City was also the second of three seeding races for NASCAR's new In-Season Challenge.
