NASCAR is one of the few forms of motorsport that do not celebrate the podium finishers after each race. In fact, it has never really happened in a points-paying event. NASCAR did utilize a small podium for the exhibition race held at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum for three years, but that's about it.
But when the sport takes its top division to Mexico for the first time, they plan to utilize the podium at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez to celebrate the top three finishers. The NASCAR Xfinity Series, which did race here between 2005 and 2008, will also hold podium celebrations. It's something NASCAR-only fans will find strange, but it's completely normal for most of the racing world.
