NASCAR is headed to San Diego for a race at Coronado Naval Base in 2026, according to reports.
The RACER revealed that Coronado is a new destination for the upcoming season, marking an exciting addition to the calendar.
The official announcement is expected to come on Wednesday, RACER reported.
Coronado is replacing Chicago on the race schedule. The Athletic reported that talks with the city of Coronado began in June.

The Chicago race took place over the last three years, with the most recent one being this summer. The contract has expired, and it is now off the calendar for 2026.
In a statement from the event’s social media account, there were seemingly logistical issues with the race, and the aim is for the race to return.
“Following the success of the first three years, the Chicago Street Race will hit pause in 2026 to afford us the time necessary to work collaboratively with the City of Chicago to explore a new potential date and to develop a plan that further optimizes operational efficiencies, with a goal to return to the streets of Chicago in 2027,” the statement read.
“Together, we have built and grown an expanded community of fans that consists of longtime NASCAR enthusiasts and first-time racegoers from around the globe, and for that, we are immensely grateful.”
Shane van Gisbergen won two out of the last three races in Chicago. He will miss the track, but both the city and NASAR are hoping this will be a brief break for the event.
The latest stop on the NASCAR train was in Delaware for the Dover race, where Denny Hamlin captured the victory.
