NASCAR on Naval Base Coronado

NASCAR makes history this weekend with its first-ever Cup Series race on an active military base—Naval Base Coronado—where streets and runways become a 3.4-mile track amid ongoing flight operations. Over two years of meticulous planning, NASCAR and the U.S. Navy collaborated to build the course, moving in May 25th with hospitality structures, grandstands, and thousands of barriers—some borrowed from Formula One Las Vegas. A million dollars went into smoothing the surface over railroad tracks and manholes. Amy Lupo, NASCAR’s project lead, highlighted the challenge of bridging NASCAR’s and Navy’s communication styles. Sailors volunteered to help build the track, seeing it as a chance to gain real-world experience, all while the base stayed fully operational—proof of flawless coordination.
