UPS will help deliver NASCAR's Busch Series to Mexico City

Mexican trip:


UPS will help deliver NASCAR's Busch Series to Mexico City for next week's inaugural race.

The American package delivery company will manifest and seal all NASCAR and team equipment, coordinate international logistics and synchronize more than 80 team haulers, official trailers of technical scoring and template equipment, tires, emergency and safety vehicles and media trucks across the border in a series of convoys.

"Equipment will be arriving at our UPS Logistics Center in Laredo, Texas, from multiple points around the country, and our specialized teams have the complex task of streamlining the massive cross-border activities," said Tom Page, a UPS official who specializes in dealing with Latin America projects.

After crossing the border, each convoy will have federal and private security escorts and coordinated communications for the about 20-hour trip to Mexico City. After the March 6 race, UPS will reverse the procedures to help get everyone back to the U.S. in plenty of time to race the following week in Las Vegas.
