Esteban Gutierrez hopes IndyCar can use his presence with Dale Coyne Racing to bring a Mexican race back onto its calendar.

The ex-Formula 1 and Formula E driver is standing in for the injured Sebastien Bourdais while the four-time Champ Car champion recovers from his Indianapolis 500 qualifying crash.

The Puebla oval has been touted as a possible future Mexican venue for IndyCar as it considers international expansion.

"Now is when I can really do a lot, I can focus," said Gutierrez.

"Together with my involvement in IndyCar, I'm sure that the possibilities in the future for a Mexican race will increase.

"A lot of Mexicans are very happy that I am in IndyCar.

"I feel honoured to be in this position representing Mexico.

"Mexico has a big history in racing in America, and I'm looking forward to continue this."
