The announcement of a 2026 NASCAR street race on Naval Base Coronado in San Diego marked a historic and deeply symbolic move for the sport. This unprecedented event, replacing the Chicago Street Race on the calendar, will be the first-ever NASCAR race held on an active military base. The patriotic tie-in is expected to create a unique atmosphere, with the track weaving past sights like aircraft carriers and F-18 fighter jets on the tarmac.
The initial feedback from the Navy and the racing community has been overwhelmingly positive, exemplified by Cup Series driver Ross Chastain, who spoke for his peers, saying the event will be a “whole other level” in terms of showing patriotism. And now, NASCAR has finally revealed the beautiful layout of the most anticipated track of 2026.
