NASCAR will bring its three national series to Naval Base Coronado this weekend, marking a rare coastal racing weekend that blends high‑speed competition with a scenic Southern California backdrop.
Weather outlook and race schedule
Meteorologists expect clear skies and only a 5‑12 % chance of precipitation, with daytime temperatures hovering in the low 60s to low 70s Fahrenheit. Such conditions are ideal for fans traveling from across the country to experience the action on the track and the shoreline.
The Craftsman Truck Series kicks off the weekend on Friday, June 19, followed by the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series on Saturday, June 20, and the premier Cup Series on Sunday, June 21. Each event promises a full slate of on‑track activity, from qualifying sessions to the final checkered flags.
Safety notice for beachgoers
A Beach Hazard Statement remains in effect until Friday night, warning of dangerous surf and strong rip currents along the Coronado shoreline. While the weather may be pleasant for spectators, officials urge visitors to heed lifeguard advice and avoid swimming in affected areas.
Overall, the combination of dry, mild weather and a packed racing program positions this weekend as a highlight for NASCAR fans, even as the coastal community prepares for heightened surf alerts.
