NASCAR will hold street race at Naval Base Coronado in 2026
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR will hold a street race on Naval Base Coronado in Southern California next June as a replacement for its downtown Chicago event that ran the last three years. The move to the San Diego area does not eliminate a return to Chicago, where NASCAR will still maintain an office and effort an eventual return, perhaps as early as 2027. But the shift next year will allow NASCAR to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy by hosting all three of its national series over a three-day weekend on June 19-21. 'As part of our nation's 250th anniversary, we are honored for NASCAR to join the celebration as we host our first street race at a military base, Naval Base Coronado,' Ben Kennedy, executive vice president and chief venue and racing innovations officer, said Wednesday. 'NASCAR San Diego Weekend will honor the Navy's history and the men and women who serve as we take the best motorsports in the world to the streets of Naval Base Coronado.' NASCAR's Bubba Wallace to honor World War II 'Flying Tigers' at Dover It will be NASCAR's second street race in the sport's history, following the three-year run in Chicago, and first on an active military base. The course layout is not complete but is expected to be around 3 miles. NASCAR has seen Auto Club Speedway close after the 2023 race. It built a temporary short track inside Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum from 2002 through 2024 but moved that event to North Carolina. Kennedy, who has been bullish on new endeavors for his family business, was the brains of the races at the Coliseum, Chicago, this year's visit to Mexico City and now next year in San Diego, a venture the Navy is excited about. 'NASCAR embodies the very best of the American spirit through speed, precision and an unyielding pursuit of excellence,' Navy Secretary John C. Phelan said. 'Hosting a race aboard Naval Air Station North Island, the birthplace of naval aviation, it's not just a historic first, it's a powerful tribute to the values we share: grit, teamwork and love of country. 'From the flight deck to the finish line, this collaboration reflects the operational intensity and unity of purpose that define both the United States Navy and NASCAR.' The base is known as the 'West Coast Quarterdeck' and is a consortium of nine Navy installations that stretch from San Clemente Island 50 miles off the coast of Long Beach to the Mountain Warfare Training Facility 50 miles east of San Diego. NASCAR named Amy Lupo, who has been with the series since 2021 and helped launch the Coliseum, as president of the race. She spent more than 20 years at ESPN expanding the X Games when she lived in San Diego early in her career. She still lives in Southern California.

NASCAR, Navy and San Diego: Why Southern Cal street race seems perfect
Everybody happy now? Well, maybe not. Universal acceptance went behind the wall years ago. But I think we can agree that many of you are, at least, less unhappy. Naval Base Coronado, connected by sandbar to downtown San Diego, now joins the ranks of modern NASCAR race hosts, alphabetically slotted between Nashville and New Hampshire. And I'm betting you can live with that. A NASCAR street race in San Diego area has plenty of pros NASCAR seems likely to continue this infatuation with road courses, including a street course on the yearly menu — while also insisting on a Southern Cal race date, by the way. So adding a famous U.S. naval air station to the schedule sounds like a welcome consolation to those who grew up with NASCAR on ovals and prefer to die that way. Oh, and this: It's very, very, very unlikely it'll rain. Say what you want about the Golden State, but they haven't found a way to screw up the weather. Sunny and 72 has been the mid-June norm since Spaniards first planted a flag 500 years ago. After three years of angry weathermen in Chicago, that's quite welcomed. Since they weren't going to add (for now, anyway) another one of the beloved old ovals many crave (Rockingham, Nashville Fairgrounds), this seems like the perfect fit, especially for a sport never shy about its respect for flag and country. We all saw San Diego coming, but I don't recall hearing talk about Coronado's naval base. It's not just the U.S. Navy tie-in and backdrops to rival F1's Monte Carlo festival, but logistically it should be monumentally easier than retrofitting downtown Chicago into a workable racetrack. Easier, in fact, than any of the other major cities that jumped on and off the rumor mill in recent months. Unless they manage to incorporate an aircraft carrier deck as a short chute between, say, Turns 9 and 10, they couldn't have landed on a better alternative. And it's not a bad business deal for the Navy, by the way. The military branches are always exploring unique promotional strategies for recruitment, and this will likely become a high-visibility opportunity. Anchors aweigh! Now, let's reach into the bag of residuals for a downer. What happened to NASCAR races at Fontana? Didn't NASCAR already have a Southern California presence — before this, and even before that three-year fling with the L.A. Coliseum? Yes, it was called Auto Club Speedway, over yonder in Fontana, which the snobs like to call Fontucky because it has the gall to sit some 60 miles inland and depend heavily on manufacturing and logistics. The Fontana track had been slowly bleeding cachet (and fans!) over recent years, and if some of those 1½-mile tracks had to go, Auto Club was the first on many folks' lists. But it was ticketed for renovation, not desertion. After a certain amount of demo, Auto Club would re-emerge as a half-mile showplace, albeit surrounded by the Inland Empire's most common modern crop — warehouses. Low overhead, big rent checks. But still, Auto Club would be NASCAR's California residence for as far as the eyes can see. Inflated construction costs and diverted priorities are two of the reasons listed for the officially licensed status of Fontana's NASCAR future: 'Holding pattern.' A common banking term (conveniently) — permanent hold — might come into play for Fontana if this Coronado venture turns out to be a keeper for all involved. And from this view, 11 months out, it's not lacking potential. — Email Ken Willis at This article originally appeared on The Daytona Beach News-Journal: NASCAR is recruited to San Diego's naval air base for 2026 street race

NASCAR trades Chicago Street Race for San Diego with U.S. Navy backdrop in 2026
It wasn't surprising, given recent rumors, so you might expect muted headlines regarding NASCAR's announcement that it's replacing the Chicago Street Race with a similar event in San Diego next year. Hardly. They're trading Chicago's Fourth of July weekend for Father's Day weekend next June. And instead of racing through the broad-shouldered Windy City, blanketed by skyscrapers and famous avenues and tourist attractions, the backdrop will be big-time Americana: alongside downtown San Diego on the island housing Naval Base Coronado. And it'll happen practically on the eve of America's 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence. On Father's Day weekend, no less. 'As part of our nation's 250th anniversary, we are honored for NASCAR to join the celebration as we host our first street race at a military base, Naval Base Coronado,' said Ben Kennedy, NASCAR's executive vice president. 'NASCAR San Diego Weekend will honor the Navy's history and the men and women who serve as we take the best motorsports in the world to the streets of Naval Base Coronado.' And while NASCAR's recent three-year run in Chicago included the Cup and Xfinity Series, all three of NASCAR's top national circuits — including the Truck Series — will be part of the Friday-through-Sunday weekend next June 19-21 in San Diego. "NASCAR embodies the very best of the American spirit through speed, precision and an unyielding pursuit of excellence,' said Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan. 'From the flight deck to the finish line, this collaboration reflects the operational intensity and unity of purpose that define both the United States Navy and NASCAR. "We're proud to open our gates to the American people, honor those who wear the uniform, and inspire the next generation to step forward and serve something greater than themselves.' NASCAR recently announced a "pause" in its relationship with Chicago, which was host to a Fourth of July weekend race the past three years — both Xfinity and Cup Series. NASCAR hasn't yet announced where the Fourth of July weekend race date will be moved.
