This year’s race weekend at Naval Base Coronado was organized as a special event to help celebrate America’s 250th birthday, but NASCAR has reenlisted for another tour.
NASCAR has confirmed that it will return to the street circuit the weekend of July 30-Aug. 1, 2027, with the Cup Series and O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.
“What 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,” NASCAR San Diego President Amy Lupo said in a news release. “We are grateful for the opportunity to build on that momentum, and we are fully committed to improving the experience for our fans. Together we will create another unforgettable weekend that celebrates the San Diego region, NASCAR, and most importantly, the brave sailors who selflessly serve our country.”
The Truck Series was also in attendance this year, with Layne Riggs claiming the historic win, while Austin Hill won the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race and part-time driver Corey Heim shocked everyone with a Cup Series win.
The 2027 race will be the last in San Diego, at least for now, as NASCAR said that in 2028 it and the Department of War “intend to take the military-base street race to a different U.S. military installation, expanding the opportunity to celebrate and connect with service members, military families and communities across the country.”
