Overview
- The event will bring NASCAR’s Cup Series to Naval Base Coronado for the first time as part of a multi-series weekend that includes Truck and O’Reilly/Xfinity races.
- The course is a 3.4-mile paved street circuit on the military base and will host practice, qualifying and races across the weekend with national broadcast partners carrying different sessions.
- NASCAR says tickets are nearly sold out and expects roughly 50,000 people on the base each day, creating sharp demand and heavy crowding for the host community.
- Race organizers and local agencies have scheduled a multi-agency briefing to coordinate traffic, security and access and have warned residents to expect travel delays and restricted routes.
- Local business owners welcome the national exposure and tourism potential while some residents say they will avoid travel during the races because of expected congestion and base security rules.
