As previously announced, NASCAR is not returning to the Chicago street course in 2026, replacing it with an ambitious new street course on an active Naval base in San Diego.
Naval Base Coronado will host the event on the weekend of June 19-21, just weeks before the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. All three national divisions of the sport will be present in this event.
The full layout for the high-speed, long street course has finally been confirmed, featuring a tricky course with no margin for error as it loops around Naval Base Coronado.
The Allison Start/Finish Line was named in honor of Commander Theodore Allison, Naval Aviator Number One.
The track will pass through the base, featuring 90-degree corners, long straightaways and will offer a unique challenge that does not exist anywhere else on the NASCAR schedule.

“It is very exciting to finally share the street course layout and provide this first look for our long-time and new fans,” said NASCAR San Diego President Amy Lupo. “Anticipation for this event is already high, and we know this course layout will raise the excitement level even higher. We can’t wait to see how the world’s best drivers meet this challenge while celebrating America’s Navy.”
The event will be open to the public Saturday and Sunday, but Friday’s truck race will provide access exclusively to members of the U.S. Navy at Naval Base Coronado and a limited number of Coronado residents.
