The 2027 NASCAR calendar was recently announced, presenting a blend of classic ovals and fresh venues that underscore the series’ growing connection to the nation’s armed forces.
A Return to Naval Base Coronado
A dedicated race will be held at Naval Base Coronado in 2027 as a tribute to service members, marking the first time the series has staged a competition on an active naval installation.
The season kicks off at Daytona International Speedway and culminates with the championship weekend at Homestead‑Miami Speedway, where the final points battle will be decided for the second consecutive year.
Investing in the Racing Experience
Homestead‑Miami Speedway is slated to receive a $20 million capital investment aimed at upgrading facilities and enhancing the fan experience for the upcoming championship event.
Expanding the Military‑Base Initiative
In partnership with the Department of Defense, NASCAR has outlined a multi‑year plan to bring street‑style races to additional U.S. military bases beginning in 2028, building on the momentum generated by the 2027 Coronado event.
Key Venues and Series
San Diego will host both the Cup Series and the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, while Dover Motor Speedway is set to stage a Cup points race on May 16, 2027. Pocono Raceway will feature all three national series during its June weekend, and the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway will serve as the final regular‑season event, determining the playoff field.
All‑Star Showcase
The NASCAR All‑Star race is scheduled for North Wilkesboro Speedway, providing a historic venue for the exhibition event that precedes the Daytona 500.
