NASCAR Truck Series teams converged on Naval Base Coronado in San Diego, California, to tackle a freshly laid 3.4‑mile circuit that blends high‑speed straights with technical corners.
A Rocky Start on the New Layout
The opening laps quickly turned eventful as Adam Andretti clipped the wall early, sustaining moderate right‑side damage, while Ben Rhodes and Connor Mosack followed suit, retreating to the pits with similar scars. Brenden Queen also made heavy contact with the outside barrier, underscoring the track’s unforgiving nature.
Despite the chaos, Layne Riggs set the pace in the first practice session, posting a best lap of 2:17.22, a time that hinted at strong preparation from his team.
Teams were granted a 20‑minute respite before the second session began, a pause that allowed engineers to assess damage and adjust setups. However, the results of that subsequent run remain pending, leaving fans eager to see whether the early incidents will translate into strategic advantages.
What Comes Next
With the track still unproven and the second practice data yet to be released, the focus shifts to qualifying efforts and the upcoming race weekend. Drivers and crew chiefs will study telemetry from the initial run, hoping to refine lines and mitigate the risk of further wall contacts.
