A Weekend of Firsts
NASCAR is set to transform Naval Base Coronado, just outside San Diego, into the epicenter of American stock‑car racing this June, staging a historic three‑day weekend that will feature every national series under one roof.
The schedule kicks off on June 19 with the Navy 250 Craftsman Truck Series race, continues on June 20 with the United Rentals‑driven Driven to Serve 250 Xfinity Series event, and culminates on June 21 with the Anduril 250 Cup Series showdown, each race supporting a full slate of practice sessions and qualifying rounds.
Adding to the excitement, Shane van Gisbergen, the New Zealand‑born road‑course specialist who finished second and first in the opening two road‑course events of the 2026 season, enters the Anduril 250 as the clear favorite, his recent momentum making him a focal point for fans and analysts alike.
Broadcast and Viewer Experience
All three races will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max, giving viewers unprecedented digital access to a NASCAR weekend that blends traditional oval action with a street‑circuit layout that stretches 3.24 miles through the base’s historic streets.
What’s at Stake
Beyond the trophies, the weekend offers teams and drivers a critical chance to test setups on a street circuit that mirrors the challenges of upcoming road‑course events later in the year, making performance here a potential harbinger of playoff positioning.
