A Turbulent Night on the Waterfront
The 3.4‑mile circuit at Naval Base Coronado in San Diego, California, played host to the 2026 Navy 250, a NASCAR Truck Series event that attracted a full field of 35 drivers.
Qualifying saw Kaden Honeycutt and Layne Riggs share the front row, setting the stage for a competitive battle from the green flag.
Stage 1 concluded with Layne Riggs taking the checkered flag, while Parker Kligerman claimed victory in Stage 2, each earning valuable points toward the championship.
The early stages were marred by a crash on Lap 4 involving Dawson Sutton and Nathan Nicholson, which shuffled several contenders out of contention.
A second incident on Lap 16 saw Connor Mosack and Corey LaJoie collide, further reshaping the running order.
Veteran Jimmie Johnson briefly led the race but elected to pit from the front, dropping him down the order as the field tightened.
The final stage delivered multiple lead changes and a dramatic crash that involved Kaden Honeycutt and Chandler Smith, while Tyler Ankrum slammed into the wall in turn 16 with four laps remaining.
In the closing laps, Layne Riggs surged ahead to secure the overall victory, a result that also prompted an update to the NASCAR Truck Series point standings.
