NASCAR to return to Coronado, race on another military base

NASCAR raced on an active US military base for the first time in June, racing on the streets of Naval Base Coronado in California.

Not only will the top stock car racing league in the world return to Coronado in 2027, but it will also race on another US military installation in 2028.

NASCAR announced the return of the Coronado race weekend for 2027, which will take place from July 30-Aug. 1. Notably, only the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series will race on the naval base for a second time, with the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series not returning. 

NASCAR says full speed ahead on military base racing

"NASCAR and the Department of War share a multi-year plan to continue hosting events beyond Naval Base Coronado," NASCAR said in a release. "In 2028, NASCAR 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."

No further details were provided as to which installation would host the 2028 race weekend.
