The inaugural street race at a naval base drew 50,000 spectators from 50 states and 17 countries, signaling a new direction for NASCAR

NASCAR's inaugural street race in San Diego sold out its 40,000 seats, drawing a global audience and securing high‑profile sponsors as the sport eyes more urban venues.

Jimmie Johnson, a seven‑time NASCAR Cup Series champion, is set to race in his hometown while co‑owning Legacy Motor Club, adding a personal dimension to the inaugural Andruil 250 street event at Naval Base Coronado.

From June 19‑21, 2026, NASCAR will race on a U.S. naval base for the first time, with Jimmie Johnson slated for his penultimate Cup start in a Carvana‑schemed car and a lineup that includes former Formula 1 driver Kevin Magnussen.

Chicago Fire FC, in partnership with McDonald’s, will host a free, mobile‑pass‑only event featuring every FIFA World Cup 2026 match, musical acts, local artist merchandise and chances to win a car and cash prizes.
