NASCAR Drivers Tackle New Naval Base Coronado Track with Simulators and Virtual Prep

NASCAR is turning to an unexpected training ground as it prepares for a debut race on the temporary circuit laid out at Naval Base Coronado. Drivers are spending hours in front of large screens, navigating virtual replicas of the course before they ever feel the asphalt under their tires. Denny Hamlin, a veteran of the sport, has made simulator work a cornerstone of his weekend routine, while Bubba Wallace typically allocates between half an hour and an hour to the same purpose. Anthony Alfredo, who is not a full‑time NASCAR competitor, relies on iRacing to study the nuances of the San Diego layout, a track that shares several characteristics with the Chicago Street Course. Both drivers stress the importance of site markers — painted arrows, cones and other reference points — that help them memorize the circuit’s rhythm.

NASCAR’s In-Season Challenge Sets Up Million-Dollar Showdown

NASCAR’s second annual In-Season Challenge will unfold from June 28 through July 26, pitting the 32 drivers who sit highest in the Cup Series standings against one another in a knockout format. The tournament is structured around five distinct venues, each chosen to test different skill sets, from high‑speed ovals to technical road courses. The prize on offer is substantial: the champion of the bracket will walk away with a $1 million payout, a figure that underscores the series’ intent to blend competition with a tangible financial incentive for drivers and teams. Among the storylines generating the most buzz is the early‑round clash between veteran Denny Hamlin and up‑and‑coming Ty Dillon. Hamlin entered the event on a three‑race winning streak, yet last year’s edition saw Dillon pull off an upset that sent Hamlin home earlier than expected, a result that adds a layer of intrigue to their upcoming encounter. The schedule’s diversity is another focal point. Competitors will travel from the historic banks of Indianapolis to the scenic turns of Sonoma, from the thunderous roar of Chicagoland to the tight, tactical layout of North Wilkesboro, and finally to the iconic Brickyard for the championship race, where the final showdown will decide the million‑dollar winner.
