ABOUT SAN DIEGO

Set along California’s stunning Pacific coastline, San Diego is a city that blends sun-soaked beaches, naval heritage, and a vibrant urban spirit. Known for its perfect year-round weather, scenic waterfronts, and rich cultural mix, it’s one of the most dynamic destinations in the United States — and now home to one of NASCAR’s most unique races: the Anduril 250 Race at the Base at the Coronado Street Course.

Located on the grounds of Naval Base Coronado, this one-of-a-kind street circuit transforms a historic U.S. Navy installation into a high-speed motorsport arena, offering fans a spectacular mix of ocean views, city backdrops, and raw racing excitement. The event draws thousands of fans from across the country, making it one of the most anticipated new stops on the NASCAR calendar.

But there’s much more to San Diego than roaring engines and fast laps. The city offers endless ways to explore and unwind. From the white sands of Coronado Beach and the lively Gaslamp Quarter downtown to the artistic charm of Balboa Park and the world-famous San Diego Zoo, there’s something here for everyone.

Visitors can stroll along the Embarcadero, take in the sights aboard the USS Midway Museum, or cross the iconic Coronado Bridge for breathtaking views of the bay. For adventure seekers, kayaking in La Jolla Cove or surfing at Ocean Beach adds a taste of California’s outdoor lifestyle to the race weekend.

Food lovers will find San Diego a culinary paradise — with fresh seafood, Baja-inspired tacos, and farm-to-table restaurants defining the local dining scene. When the sun goes down, the city’s rooftop bars, waterfront lounges, and live music venues keep the energy high well into the night.

About Naval Base Coronado

Naval Base Coronado is one of the U.S. Navy’s most important installations, combining eight distinct facilities across the San Diego area, including the Naval Air Station North Island and Naval Amphibious Base Coronado. Known as the “Birthplace of Naval Aviation,” it has played a key role in U.S. military and aviation history for over a century.

During the NASCAR race at Coronado, the base opens its gates to motorsport fans for a rare opportunity to experience a world-class NASCAR event inside an active military setting — blending cutting-edge racing technology with the legacy of American naval power.

Whether you’re here for the racing, the ocean views, or the laid-back Southern California vibe, San Diego delivers a race weekend like no other — a seamless blend of motorsport, history, and coastal charm.
