SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – NASCAR has revealed the course for its San Diego Weekend racing event taking place at Naval Base Coronado from June 19-21, 2026.
The course will be 3.4 miles long and include 16 turns, and NASCAR officials said a star-spangled backdrop will be in place to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy.
In a press release, NASCAR officials laid out the following course highlights:
- The Ellyson Start/Finish Line: Named in honor of Commander Theodore Ellyson, Naval Aviator Number One. His training at North Island laid the foundation for its commissioning as a naval air station in 1917 and eventual recognition as the “Birthplace of Naval Aviation.”
- Turn 5, Carrier Corner: This sharp left-hand turn is located between the docking location of two aircraft carriers.
- Turn 8, Coronado Chicane: This begins a series of turns that will provide drivers with a steep challenge as they speed toward the interior of the base.
- Turn 14, Runway Road: Aptly named, given it is located near the north end of Runway 18/36 at Halsey Field.
