NASCAR veteran Denny Hamlin is gearing up for the inaugural Coronado Street Race, set to transform the waterfront of San Diego into a high‑octane playground. The new Qualcomm Circuit packs 16 tight turns into a 3.4‑mile layout, forcing drivers to rethink braking points and racing lines on a surface that blends urban flair with classic road‑course demands.

The driver co‑owns 23XI Racing alongside basketball legend Michael Jordan, a partnership that has already yielded a road‑course triumph for teammate Tyler Reddick in Austin, underscoring the organization’s growing competitiveness.
