The 2024 NASCAR Mexico Series was the seventeenth season of the NASCAR Mexico Series, a regional stock car racing series sanctioned by NASCAR in Mexico. It is the twentieth season of the series as a NASCAR-sanctioned series. It began with the non-championship King Taco La Batalla En El Coliseo at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on 4 February, and ended with a race at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez on 2 November.
Regulation Changes
Playoff Format A revised format was announced for the 2024 season, which would include 10 playoff-eligible drivers compared to 6 in 2023.
All drivers with a win would now qualify for the playoffs, with the remaining positions being determined by the regular season points standings.
In the new format, the amount of playoff races would be increased from 2 to 3. After each of the first 2 races, the bottom three drivers would be eliminated. Those drivers would have their points reset to their regular season total, in addition to points that were accumulated throughout the two playoff races. In the final race, the highest finisher out of the remaining four drivers would be the champion of the season.
Drivers would have to compete in every regular season event to be eligible for the playoffs, similar to 2023. However, in the event of force majeure and/or clashes with international motorsport events, drivers would be allowed to miss up to two races and remain eligible for the playoffs; with approval from the series.

Stage Racing 2024 saw the introduction of stage racing in the series, that had been used for NASCAR's since 2017.
All races would feature a mandatory caution at roughly the halfway point of the race - deemed a "stage break". During the caution, all teams would be allowed to make tire changes and refuel, in a non-competitive pit stop.
Additionally, the end of the stage would also reward points to the top three finishers:
