In 2027, NASCAR will return to race at Naval Base Coronado, marking the event's second appearance at the active military base. The NASCAR Cup and O Reilly Auto Parts Series will compete on the 16-turn, 3.4-mile Qualcomm Circuit, located at the base. The event is set for July 30-August 1, 2027, and organizers are aiming to build on the success and momentum from last year's racing weekend.
NASCAR San Diego President Amy Lupo expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to create another unforgettable experience for fans, while emphasizing their commitment to improving the event for all involved.
Following the NASCAR Cup Series, the Truck Series will not return to Naval Base Coronado. However, NASCAR and the Department of Defense (Defense) have announced ambitious plans to continue hosting events at the base. The multi-year plan includes bringing the street race to another U.S. military installation in 2028, expanding NASCAR's national platform to honor military service members, strengthen connections with military families and communities, and showcase the mission and values of the Armed Forces.
In addition to Naval Base Coronado, the 2027 NASCAR Cup schedule will feature four additional road/street courses, including the Circuit of the Americas, Sonoma Raceway, and Watkins Glen International. This expansion demonstrates NASCAR's dedication to creating a lasting tradition that celebrates courage, commitment, and elite performance, while reaching more service members across the country through diverse locations.
