NASCAR’s top three national series are set to make history this weekend as they open their seasons at the Naval Base Coronado in San Diego, California.
A Weekend of Firsts
From June 19 through June 21, fans will experience a packed schedule that includes practice sessions, qualifying runs and the first races of the year for the Craftsman Truck Series, the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and the Cup Series.
All broadcast times are listed in Eastern, and the action will be split across a variety of channels and streaming platforms, ensuring viewers can follow the events live or catch up later.
Friday, June 19, brings practice and qualifying sessions for the Truck and Cup divisions, setting the stage for Saturday’s double‑header of qualifiers and races across all three series.
Saturday’s lineup features the final qualifying attempts for the Truck and Cup events, while the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series takes its turn on the track, delivering a full day of competition.
Sunday wraps up with pre‑race buildup and post‑race analysis for the Cup Series, alongside a re‑air of the Truck Series race for those who missed the live broadcast.
The events mark the first time the naval base has hosted a major motorsport weekend, blending military tradition with the high‑octane excitement of stock car racing.
