NASCAR Heads to a Brand-New Venue
The San Diego weekend marks one of the most ambitious events NASCAR has attempted in recent years.
The temporary street circuit at Naval Base Coronado will host all three national series and gives the Cup Series another high-profile road-course challenge. The event has generated significant buzz throughout the sport, particularly because it combines NASCAR’s growing road-course emphasis with one of the most unique backdrops on the schedule.
The Cup Series enters the weekend with plenty of momentum after Pocono Raceway, while drivers such as Shane van Gisbergen, Chase Elliott, Tyler Reddick, Christopher Bell, and Michael McDowell are expected to be among the favorites on the technical street course.
Whether the race lives up to the enormous hype remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: all eyes across the NASCAR world will be on San Diego this weekend.
