A Historic Weekend at Naval Base Coronado
NASCAR is gearing up for an unprecedented weekend of racing that will transform the naval base in Coronado, San Diego, into a high‑octane street circuit. The event, announced earlier this year, will showcase the full spectrum of the sport, from the Camping World Truck Series to the Xfinity and Cup Series, all under the shadow of an aircraft carrier that will serve as a striking backdrop.
Friday’s program kicks off with practice and qualifying sessions for both the Truck and Cup divisions, giving teams a first taste of the unique layout that weaves through the base’s roadways and historic landmarks. The excitement builds as fans gather to watch the trucks battle for the Navy 250, a race that promises close competition on a course unlike any other.
A Full Schedule of Sessions
Saturday’s action features final qualifying for the Cup Series and the O’Reilly Auto Parts‑sponsored Xfinity race, culminating in the Driven to Serve 250 that will light up the evening sky. The schedule is designed to keep spectators engaged from afternoon through night, blending traditional racing action with a festive atmosphere.
The climax arrives on Sunday afternoon with the Anduril 250, the Cup Series showdown that will crown the weekend’s champion. The race’s name pays homage to the technology firm supporting the event, and the presence of the carrier adds a cinematic quality that has captured the imagination of motorsport enthusiasts nationwide.
