Excitement continues building for historic event at Naval Base Coronado, June 19-21
SAN DIEGO (April 7, 2026) – Arby’s has “The Meats.” NASCAR has the racing. Together they will combine those incredible ingredients to create an unforgettable experience for race fans, June 19-21, as the nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States Navy.
That’s because NASCAR announced today that Arby’s will serve as a Supporting Partner of NASCAR San Diego Weekend presented by Anduril, pairing two beloved brands built on passion, performance and delivering unforgettable moments for their devoted fans.
From the thunder of NASCAR to the unmistakable deliciousness of Arby’s classics, fans can expect a race weekend stacked with flavor as NASCAR embarks on its maiden voyage at Naval Base Coronado.
“As we quickly approach race weekend, it’s important to align with brands that are bold and memorable,” said Amy Lupo, President of NASCAR San Diego Race Weekend. “Arby’s brings energy, creativity and a loyal fan base that perfectly complements the excitement of NASCAR. We’re thrilled to welcome them to this historic event.”
Arby’s, the beloved fast-food chain renowned for its delicious sandwiches and signature sauces, offers a variety of high-quality proteins and innovative, crave-able sides, such as Curly Fries and Jamocha shakes. Arby’s restaurant services feature a unique blend of quick-serve speed combined with the quality and made-for-you care of fast casual.
Arby’s Restaurant Group, Inc. is the franchisor of the Arby’s Brand and is part of the Inspire Brands family of restaurants headquartered in Atlanta, Ga. Founded in 1964, Arby’s is a leading sandwich drive-thru restaurant brand with more than 3,600 restaurants globally.
Most importantly, Arby’s is no stranger to NASCAR fans. The brand is also a partner of JR Motorsports and can be seen on the cars of NASCAR O’Reilly Parts Series stalwarts Justin Allgaier, Carson Kvapil and Sammy Smith throughout the season. Arby’s also served as a Founding Partner of the 2025 Chicago Street Race, bringing its signature blend of fun and flavor to one of NASCAR’s most memorable events. NASCAR fans will receive a solid serving of both during NASCAR San Diego Weekend as Arby’s branding and activation will be prominent on Naval Base Coronado.
Arby’s joins Pala Casino Golf Resort & Spa and Camping World as supporting partners of NASCAR San Diego Weekend presented by Anduril. More supporting partners will be announced in the weeks ahead.
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.
