Goodyear Brings Proven Road Course Tires to New Qualcomm Circuit at Coronado

NASCAR’s national series are set to debut on the brand‑new Qualcomm Circuit at Naval Base Coronado, a 3.4‑mile layout that boasts sixteen turns and is the longest road course on the 2024 schedule. The track will feature Goodyear’s familiar road‑course tire package, a specification that has already proven itself at venues such as Circuit of The Americas and Watkins Glen this season. Goodyear’s Director of Racing for the Americas, Justin Fantozzi, highlighted the tire’s reliability as teams prepare for the unfamiliar venue, noting that the same compound will be used on both the left‑ and right‑hand sides of the car. The setup was first introduced at Sonoma Raceway last summer and has been employed twice this year in both the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and the Craftsman Truck Series, giving teams a solid reference point. In addition, wet‑weather tires are on standby should rain intervene, ensuring that the event can proceed under any conditions. With the new circuit joining the growing list of road‑course venues, NASCAR continues to expand its technical diversity while maintaining a focus on safety and performance.
