2009 NASCAR Corona Series


The 2009 NASCAR Corona Series was the sixth season of the Corona Series, which was sanctioned by NASCAR Mexico. It was marred by the fatal accident of Carlos Pardo.

New for this season

All five previous NASCAR Mexico series champions raced the full schedule in 2009.
The Rookie of the Year championship adopted a points system similar to those used in NASCAR's national series, with points going from ten to one for rookies only, and bonus points for top-ten finishes in the overall race.
