All three of NASCAR’s top divisions will compete on an active United States military base for the first time this weekend at San Diego’s Qualcomm Circuit at Naval Base Coronado. The brand-new street course is the longest track on this year’s schedule at 3.4 miles, featuring 16 turns. Additionally, the street course will also have a star-spangled backdrop to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States Navy.
Wet or dry, they are ready to race. If required, teams in all three series also have Goodyear’s wet-weather tires available; the same tire specification is used on both sides of the car.
The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series kicks off the weekend on Friday at 7 p.m. ET for the Navy 250 (50 laps / 170 miles) on FS1.
On Saturday, the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series United Rentals Driven to Serve 250 (60 laps / 204 miles) will begin at 5 p.m. ET on the CW Network.
Then on Sunday, the NASCAR Cup Series Anduril 250 (75 laps / 255 miles) will begin at 4 p.m. ET on Prime.
