SAN DIEGO \u2014 NASCAR will return to Naval Base Coronado in 2027 after a successful debut that introduced stock car racing to one of the most unique venues in motorsports.<\/p>\n
Officials announced Tuesday that NASCAR San Diego Weekend presented by Anduril will return July 30-Aug. 1, 2027, bringing the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts Series back to the streets of Naval Air Station North Island.<\/p>\n
The event\u2019s 2026 debut sold out and transformed the military installation into a 3.4-mile, 16-turn street course known as the Qualcomm Circuit. Set against the backdrop of San Diego Bay and the Birthplace of Naval Aviation, the track quickly became one of NASCAR\u2019s most distinctive venues.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we experienced this year, the incredible racing, the energy from our fans and the partnership with the U.S. Navy and the San Diego community, showed just how special this event can be,\u201d NASCAR San Diego President Amy Lupo said.<\/p>\n
The 2027 announcement goes beyond next year\u2019s race weekend. NASCAR and the Department of War also revealed plans for a rotating military-base street race concept beginning in 2028. Under the proposal, the event would move to different U.S. military installations in future years, expanding NASCAR\u2019s reach while highlighting service members and military communities nationwide.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur vision is bigger than a single race or location,\u201d Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said. \u201cBy bringing this event to different military installations in the years ahead, we can reach more service members across the country and build an enduring tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Cup Series race is scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 1, 2027, with live coverage on TNT, truTV and HBO Max. The NASCAR O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts Series will race on Saturday, July 31, with coverage on The CW and ESPN App.<\/p>\n
Naval Base Coronado leaders praised the return, pointing to the event\u2019s ability to connect motorsports fans with the military community while showcasing the Navy\u2019s mission on a national stage.<\/p>\n
The weekend will again feature Navy Community Night on July 30, offering sailors and Coronado residents free access to practice, qualifying and special interactive events celebrating both naval heritage and NASCAR competition.<\/p>\n
Anduril returns as entitlement sponsor of the Cup Series race, while United Rentals remains the title partner for the O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts Series event. Qualcomm Technologies, Red Bull and Pala Casino Spa Resort also continue their support of NASCAR San Diego.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN DIEGO \u2014 NASCAR will return to Naval Base Coronado in 2027 after a successful debut that introduced…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":871334,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[49,48,634,82],"class_list":["post-871333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nascar","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nascar","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=871333"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871333\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/871334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=871333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=871333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=871333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
