CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- NASCAR will resurrect its series in Mexico behind new title sponsor Peak, an automotive products company seeking to boost its profile.The rebranded NASCAR Peak Mexico Series will mark its return with an exhibition race in Mexico City in December. The series plans to run a full championship schedule next year.The announcement Tuesday night in Mexico City was attended by Daniel Suarez, who used the series as a starting point that led to his current ride with Joe Gibbs Racing.Suarez is tied for the lead in the Xfinity Series championship. He spent four years racing in NASCAR Mexico and won 10 races before graduating to the national series level. Hes the first Mexican driver to win a national series race and lead a national series in points.While Suarez was winning races in the United States, the series he had competed in was dormant. NASCAR had operated a Mexico-based stock car series from 2004 to 2015 in coordination with the Mexican promoter OCESA. NASCAR will operate the series in 2017 with former driver Jimmy Morales as the promoter.NASCAR Executive Vice President Steve ODonnell said Tuesday night he believes the series is in a good position to be stable with the sponsorship and promoter partnerships.The future of NASCAR in the United States is going to be reliant on the Hispanic fan base, growing the sport outside of the United States as well, ODonnell said. The success we saw in Mexico with the drivers, particularly Daniel Suarez, we felt like we were just on the cusp of really growing things in Mexico. ... It wasnt a question of if [we will return] for us.We knew how important this market is to the future of NASCAR. It took us a little longer to put everything together, but to have a successful partnership, sometimes that does take time.Morales, president and CEO of motorsports representation company Escuderia Telmex-Telcel, has managed Suarez in his move from Mexico to NASCAR racing in the United States.Jimmy knows what it takes to be successful for a driver through what weve seen with Daniel, ODonnell said. Thats the model he wants to set up is what was the learning curve we had with Daniel, what did Daniel help us learn as well where we could make some improvements and put that together with this partnership.ODonnell said he envisions the series will have 10 races next year. While it has raced at Phoenix International Raceway in the past, ODonnell said he doesnt anticipate a return there in 2017.Well concentrate on Mexico [next year], but the goal really for the series is to be home base for Latin America, and the drivers who aspire to get into the [NASCAR] national series level would come here and compete, ODonnell said.NASCAR Mexico also has helped the development of Ruben Garcia Jr., who has three career Xfinity Series starts, and German Quiroga, who has 53 starts in the Camping World Truck Series.Lou Garate, vice president of partnership marketing for NASCAR, said he believes the return of the series in Mexico will bolster the popularity of stock car racing and provide opportunities for aspiring drivers and crew members.We want this to be a base, and if you can make it in NASCAR Mexico, you can make it in the U.S., Garate said.NASCAR Mexico did not run this year as NASCAR reassessed the program after nine seasons. The return was aided by the multiyear agreement with Peak, a division of Old World Industries that has a lengthy association in auto racing.Information from ESPNs Bob Pockrass and The Associated Press was used in this report.

Galatasaray said in a statement on its website Monday that Mancini signed a three-year contract and will be paid 3.5 million euros for the upcoming season, with his salary upped to 4. Hawthorn appear to have timed their run perfectly heading into the final quarter of the season. Aside from a rampaging Adelaide, the Hawks are clearly the form team of the competition, according to this weeks edition of the ESPN AFL Power Rankings.Alastair Clarksons men have jumped up to an equal season-high ranking of second, with a couple of soft-ish matches against Richmond and Carlton to help them along in the coming rounds.Meanwhile the Crows, with three home games over the next four weeks against bottom-eight sides, are expected to continue their stranglehold over the competition as they edge closer to top spot on the AFL ladder.The Bulldogs are this weeks losers despite technically being winners against Richmond; much like other unlucky teams in previous editions of the rankings, theyve fallen down the rankings despite a victory. A narrow win over a bottom-10 side such as the Tigers isnt particularly worthy of celebration, especially consideriing Sydneys victory at the Cattery and West Coasts win over top-eight contender North Melbourne both look slightly better on the resume.ddddddddddddThe Suns continue their late-season rise, though with serious injuries to key midfielders Gary Ablett and Michael Rischitelli, how long will it be before they start to fall down the rankings again?LegendForm: The higher the number, the better a teams recent form.Draw: The higher the number, the easier a teams upcoming draw.Fitness: Determined by the number and quality of fit players available.
