Matt Kesneth drove Roush Fenway Racing's No. 17 to victory in the California Speedway Busch Series race. Michel Jourdain Jr. will get his chance in the Ford Fusion at Mexico City.
This will the third NASCAR Busch Series race in Mexico City for Jourdain, an open-wheel racer from Champ Car.
"I am very excited to race at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City this weekend," said Jourdain, Jr. "The past two years, I have run very well but have been taken out before the finish. I am very happy to be racing in front of my hometown crowd this weekend. This should be my best opportunity to race for the win with Roush Fenway racing, and I cannot wait to put on a good show for all the fans down there."
Jourdain competed part-time in the Craftsman Truck Series in 2006 for Roush Fenway Racing in the No. 50 Ford F-150. Jourdain will also drive the No. 17 Dish Network Ford Fusion at the inaugural road course race in Canada on Aug. 4.
