NASCAR to Run First Cup Street Race at Naval Base Coronado

San Diego will host televised Cup, Truck, O’Reilly series races on a 3.4-mile paved street course during Father’s Day weekend.

Overview

  • The three-day event is scheduled for June 19–21 and will culminate with the Cup race, the Anduril 250, on Sunday at 4:00 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime Video.
  • NASCAR says tickets are nearly sold out and expects roughly 50,000 people on the base each day, creating heavy demand on local roads and transit.
  • Organizers and public agencies have set a coordinated news conference with the U.S. Navy, the California Highway Patrol, Caltrans and the City of Coronado to outline traffic, security and access plans.
  • The Cup entry list includes 39 drivers with part‑time additions such as Corey Heim, Kevin Magnussen and Jimmie Johnson, while JGR’s Christopher Bell remains uncertain to race because of a fractured wrist and could be started then replaced if needed.
  • The San Diego Street Course is a 3.4‑mile paved street circuit with defined stage lengths for Truck, O’Reilly and Cup races, and the event will be watched locally as both a tourism boost and a test of hosting a major motorsports event on a military base.
