Abraham Calderón won his first series championship at Puebla,[2] finishing nine points ahead of Rubén García Jr.; both drivers failed to win any races during the season, but were able to finish strongly in the five-race Desafío, which concluded the season. Calderón achieved eleven top-ten finishes, while Garcia Jr. took ten top-ten finishes. Rubén Rovelo finished third in the championship, eleven points in arrears of Calderón, winning races at Aguascalientes and Tuxtla Gutiérrez.

Six other drivers won races during the season, including Daniel Suárez, who won a total of five races including three of the first four races. A pair of finishes outside the top 20 in the Desafío saw Suárez finish in 6th in the championship. Irwin Vences, who made the Desafío despite missing the first four races of the season, won two races as well, winning the first Puebla race and the second San Luis Potosí event. Rubén Pardo (the first event at Querétaro and Chihuahua) and Homero Richards (the second Querétaro event, and the season-ending Puebla event) each won two races, while Luis Felipe Montaño – at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez – and Rogelio López, at the first San Luis Potosí race, each took one win.
