NASCAR Stock V6 Series was the feeder series of NASCAR Toyota Series between 2011 and 2015. It has replaced the former NASCAR Mexico T4 Series/NASCAR Mini Stocks Series. The Stock V6 Series Series featured the largest grid in Mexican motor sports, with more than 30 teams running full-time and a few others doing a limited schedule. It is also notorious for the diversity of its drivers. As the series allows drivers to debut at age 15, several young Mexican talents are choosing the Stock V6 Series to start their NASCAR careers. On the other hand, there are several 40-something drivers who have been racing in the series since the former NASCAR Mexico T4 Series. The series ran a 10-race schedule from March to October. Races are shown live on AYM Sports, a Mexican sport-related satellite TV station available in Mexico, Central America, and the south of the United States.

In 2011 was created the NASCAR Stock V6 Series, the major difference of the series was that the cars increased to six-cylinder engines, different of the four-cylinder engines of the NASCAR T4 Series/Mini Stock Series. The series was called Stock V6 Series between 2011 and 2014. Starting in 2015, the series was renamed to NASCAR Mexico Pro Series The NASCAR Mexico Series was folded after the end of the 2015 season. The NASCAR Mexico Pro Series had a season in 2016 but without NASCAR-sanction and was called only Pro Series V6, it was a support series of the Super Copa Telcel, where almost all of the former NASCAR Mexico drivers drove in 2016. In 2017, the NASCAR PEAK Mexico Series returned and they create a new feeder division called NASCAR FedEx Challenge Series, which had V8 engines, instead of six-cylinder of the Stock V6 Series, consequently the Stock V6 Series was folded.
