The Coronado Street Course
The urban layout, winding through the Naval Base Coronado, presents tight turns and modest elevation changes that test both car setup and driver skill, making it a distinctive challenge in the Cup Series calendar.
Among the 40‑car field, Chase Elliott and Christopher Bell will start 30th and 37th respectively, while Christopher Bell’s teammate Brent Crews will be on standby after the driver fractured his wrist, adding a layer of uncertainty to the lineup.
The race will feature a mix of seasoned veterans and emerging talent, setting the stage for a competitive showdown that could influence playoff picture dynamics later in the season.
