The City of Coronado and Naval Base Coronado have released a comprehensive briefing for the upcoming NASCAR San Diego Weekend, outlining traffic patterns, parking instructions and access protocols for fans heading to the event.
Parking passes are color‑coded, and each color determines the specific gate through which ticket holders must enter the installation. All vehicles will undergo inspections at entry points, and drivers are reminded to follow the lane assignments that keep traffic flowing smoothly.
Gate Access and Vehicle Inspections
Fans planning to visit the Commissary or the Navy Exchange should enter via Stockdale Gate and stay in the far‑right lane to avoid congestion. Pedestrians and cyclists, regardless of seating location, must use Carrier Gate for entry onto the base.
Individuals who hold a Common Access Card and are not attending the race can still use the regular pedestrian entrance at Stockdale Gate, providing a convenient option for those with base privileges.
MWR (Morale, Welfare and Recreation) services will be temporarily closed during the race weekend, and all fans should plan accordingly for food, merchandise and other amenities.
A NASCAR ticket doubles as a credential that grants access to both the installation and the racing venue, streamlining the entry process for attendees.
Naval Base Coronado has also posted a short video highlighting key reminders for base access, while a 28‑minute documentary about the event is available for streaming on YouTube and Amazon Prime, giving viewers a behind‑the‑scenes look at the preparations.
