NASCAR is set to hold a Cup Series race at Naval Base Coronado in California, marking a notable first for the series. Coverage of the event highlights that Coronado will be the second street course in the 77-year history of NASCAR’s top-level Cup Series, following the series’ earlier street-course competition history. It also will be the first time NASCAR stages a Cup Series race on a military installation, expanding the venues used for major stock-car events. The race’s placement at Coronado brings the series to a street-course setup rather than a traditional permanent track, with the course built around the base’s roads and facilities. While details of the race format and schedule are not included in the provided text, both sources agree on the event’s historical significance: it is NASCAR’s rare return to street-course racing and its first Cup race at a military base. The announcement therefore centers on where the race will take place and why the venue stands out in NASCAR’s long-running history.
