| - Rafael Martinez made it 2-for-2 after driving the No. 18 Canel’s/Scotiabank/Tekmol to victory in the NASCAR Mexico race Sunday at the autódromo Internacional de Zacatecas. Martinez, who won the season-opener April 1 in Amozoc, Puebla, held off Ricardo Pérez de Lara for a second straight victory. Freddy Tame finished third, followed by Luis F. Montaño and 2006 champion Jorge Goeters. Martinez stretched his points lead to 40 over Tame (365-325). Pérez de Lara and Germán Quiroga are tied for third at 313, and Goeters is fifth at 302. The 81-lap race was slowed by three yellow flags, including one that took out Carlos Pardo. Pardo had won the non-points event in Mexico City March 4 and finished second in Puebla. The series will next run May 6 at San Luis Potosi. 1 2 18 Rafael Martínez 81 $2,690 Running 2 12 2 Ricardo Pérez de Lara 81 $2,063 Running 3 5 19 Freddy Tame 81 $1,435 Running 4 4 21 Luis F.
