NASCAR San Diego at Naval Base Coronado Street Course
June 19-21
NASCAR San Diego Weekend reveals a challenging 16-turn, 3.4-mile street circuit at Naval Base Coronado that mix high-speed action with breathtaking views. The exciting street course will provide a star-spangled backdrop celebrating the 250thanniversary of the United States Navy.
Grandstand seating and hospitality will be available throughout the circuit, the longest course on NASCAR’s 2026 schedule. It features a quick right-hand turn after the Ellyson Start/Finish Line, before two quick 90-degree left handers launch competitors on a high-octane journey around the San Diego Bay and one of the world’s foremost military installations, Naval Base Coronado.
Course highlights include:
The Ellyson Start/Finish Line: Named in honor of Commander Theodore Ellyson, Naval Aviator Number One. His training at North Island laid the foundation for its commissioning as a naval air station in 1917 and eventual recognition as the “Birthplace of Naval Aviation.”
Turn 5, Carrier Corner: This sharp left-hand turn is located between the docking location of two aircraft carriers.
Turn 8, Coronado Chicane: This begins a series of turns that will provide drivers with a steep challenge as they speed toward the interior of the base.
Turn 14, Runway Road: Aptly named, given it is located near the north end of Runway 18/36 at Halsey Field.
NASCAR San Diego Weekend presented by Anduril begins with Navy Community Day on Friday, June 19, 2026, with plans to honor the military forthcoming. Friday access will be open exclusively to members of the U.S. Navy at Naval Base Coronado and a limited amount of Coronado residents and then culminate with the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race.
The NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series will take center stage on Saturday, June 20, and the stars of the NASCAR Cup Series will compete in the Anduril 250 Race the Base on Sunday, June 21. Purchase tickets at NASCARSanDiego.com.
