In the second race at Autódromo Potosino, Antonio Pérez started in fifth position and took the victory. Also in the race, Homero Richards had to drive the car of his teammate, Javier Razo, due to the breakdown of Richards' car.

In race three at Querétaro, Homero Richards achieved his tenth victory in the NTS in a GWC. The race was run 9 laps in excess. Rogelio López became the leader with a two point of advantage over Daniel Suárez.

Nocturna 200 was the fourth race in the season. Rogelio López took the pole position, and Daniel Suárez ultimately won the race. This was Suárez' first victory in NTS and he reached the number one position in the championship.

In the fifth race, Rubén García, Jr. (son of Rubén García Novoa), took his first pole position. García Jr clocked the track in 39.093 at 115.10 mph and became the youngest pole-sitter in NTS aged 16.
