Iconic brand to spotlight Hero Program honoring military, law enforcement and first responders
SAN DIEGO (March 24, 2026) – NASCAR announced today that Camping World will serve as a Supporting Partner of NASCAR San Diego Weekend, June 19-21. It reunites one of the sport’s most recognizable and enduring brands with NASCAR and Southern California for a historic celebration of speed, service and community.
For decades, Camping World’s heart has been firmly entrenched in the NASCAR community — from trackside campgrounds packed with loyal fans to high-profile partnerships across the sport, including its entitlement partnership with the Truck Series from 2009-2022. Its presence at NASCAR San Diego Weekend underscores the brand’s continued commitment to NASCAR and to the passionate fan base that fuels it.
“NASCAR San Diego Weekend is about more than racing — it’s about community, patriotism and bringing people together around shared values,” said Amy Lupo, President of NASCAR San Diego. “Camping World is an iconic brand within our sport, and their unwavering support of the military and first responders aligns perfectly with the spirit of this event, which honors the 250th anniversary of the United States Navy. We are proud to welcome them as a Supporting Partner for this landmark weekend.”
As part of its involvement, Camping World will utilize the weekend to debut their new Hero Program, which honors members of the military, law enforcement and first responders who have demonstrated exceptional service to our country and communities. The program reflects the company’s deep respect for those who serve and its ongoing investment in recognizing everyday heroes.
Throughout the event, Camping World will engage fans with on-site activations while shining a spotlight on honorees who embody courage, dedication and service. The partnership also reflects the synergy between NASCAR’s proud ties to America’s armed forces and first responders and Camping World’s longstanding commitment to those that protect and defend our freedom.
“Camping World and NASCAR have shared decades of history. The fans’ dedication to the sport and their affinity for the RV lifestyle at the track is unmatched. We are honored to be part of NASCAR San Diego Weekend and to continue our deep-rooted relationship with the NASCAR family,” said Matthew Wagner, CEO & President of Camping World.
“Our Hero Program is about recognizing the brave men and women who serve our country, protect our freedom, and support our communities with distinction. There is no better stage than an event with such strong ties to the military to acknowledge their sacrifice and celebrate their commitment,” said Brandon Mulhall, CMO of Camping World.
Racing action at Naval Base Coronado begins with Navy Community Day on Friday, June 19. Friday access will be open exclusively to members of the U.S. Navy at Naval Base Coronado and a limited amount of Coronado residents, culminating with the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race.
Ticket holders from the general public will be welcome aboard June 20-21. The NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series will take center stage on Saturday, June 20, and the stars of the NASCAR Cup Series will compete in the Anduril 250 Race the Base on Sunday, June 21.
