Qualcomm Circuit - Naval Base Coronado
NASCAR RaceWeather Forecast

Located on the grounds of Naval Base Coronado in San Diego, California, Qualcomm Circuit is one of the most distinctive additions to the NASCAR schedule in recent years. Debuting in 2026, the temporary 3.4-mile, 16-turn street course combines active military infrastructure, waterfront scenery, and a challenging mix of technical corners and high-speed sections. The layout winds through Naval Air Station North Island, passing aircraft carriers, runways, hangars, and San Diego Bay, creating a setting unlike any other venue in North American motorsports.

The circuit was developed as part of NASCAR’s San Diego return and the United States Navy’s 250th anniversary celebration. Drivers face a demanding course featuring tight braking zones, sweeping corners, elevation changes, and several signature sections, including Carrier Corner, the Coronado Chicane, and Runway Road. The combination of varying pavement surfaces, changing grip levels, and limited runoff areas places a premium on precision and adaptability. Qualcomm Circuit hosts NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity Series, and Craftsman Truck Series competition, quickly establishing itself as one of the sport’s most unique and visually spectacular road-course venues.
