The NASCAR Cup Series will race at two new venues and have a new finale in 2026. Here's all the changes and full schedule.

San Diego is about as military as a military town can get. From the Naval Aviators on Coronado’s North Island, to the SEALs on the Silver Strand, to the home of the largest naval fleet in the world, and of course, those crazy Marines, NASCAR found a perfect spot to run a race while honoring the military.

St. Petersburg will enter the Craftsman Truck Series schedule in 2026, bringing street-course racing to the circuit; details.

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 will hold a street race on Naval Base Coronado in Southern California next June as a replacement for its downtown Chicago event that ran the past three years.

It’s expected that the 2026 NASCAR schedule will come this week. However, we have come to know of some changes ahead of time, from the addition of the San Diego street course to Homestead-Miami Speedway hosting championship weekend.

While taking a break from the Chicago Street Race in Grant Park next year, NASCAR will return to the Chicagoland Speedway in southwest suburban Joliet for the July 4th weekend.
