The EcoCentro Expositor Querétaro is an exposition center located in El Marqués, Quéretaro, near the state's capital of Santiago de Querétaro. The Ecocentro was opened in 2001 by then president Vicente Fox. The venue notably features an arena and numerous motorsport facilities, including an oval and a karting track.
It currently hosts the annual Querétaro fair in November/December, the El Marqués fair, and the NASCAR Mexico Series.
Track
The track was inaugurated on 30 March 2008 to become the new premier racing facility in Querétaro, replacing a track with the same name that had hosted the NASCAR Mexico Series from 2004 to 2007. The oval layout was later inaugurated in October 2009.
The track has two layouts; a road course with a length of and an oval with a length of . The oval has a paper clip shape with turn 1-2 having no banking and turns 3-4 being slightly banked.
The two layouts share the same Turns 1-2, before the road course splits off into a double hairpin and esses complex — it rejoins the oval layout on the main straight, which is also used as a dragstrip where 1/8 mile events are held regularly.
The track has hosted the NASCAR Mexico Series, the Copa Pirelli, the LATAM Challenge Series, the Super Copa Telcel, and CARreras.
NASCAR Mexico Series
Waldemar Coronas from Argentina became the first foreign driver to win at this circuit in this category. As of 2025, Rafael Martínez has the most wins at Quéretaro with 6.
