NASCAR announced Wednesday that the sport will race in San Diego, Calif. in 2026 with a new street course race weekend at Naval Base Coronado. NASCAR's San Diego Weekend, set for June 19-21 of next year, will be the first NASCAR event on an active military base and feature the NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity Series and Craftsman Truck Series.

NASCAR has raced on the streets of Chicago the past three years. Beginning next year, it'll be the streets around San Diego's naval base.

NASCAR is pausing the Chicago street race because it needs more time to try to reschedule the event and reduce the build-out and breakdown of the pop-up racecourse.
