Overview
- Practice, qualifying and three races are scheduled for June 19–21 with Cup coverage on Amazon Prime Video, the Truck race on FS1/FS2 and the O’Reilly/X series on The CW.
- Organizers and Navy officials have released strict access rules that require government photo ID, assigned gates and parking, no re-entry, a ban on tailgating and restricted attendance for some sessions including the Truck race.
- The Cup entry list includes 39 cars with open entries for Corey Heim, Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Magnussen and Austin Hill listed as the replacement in the No. 33 car.
- Teams warn the 3.4-mile temporary street circuit is long, technical and bumpy, so crews are using simulators and on-site setup work to manage surface changes that could make restarts and tight corners chaotic.
- Tickets for key days are nearly sold out and officials expect roughly 50,000 fans per day, prompting coordinated traffic plans from Coronado Police, the California Highway Patrol, Caltrans and the Navy and raising both economic opportunity and congestion concerns.
